What is Somatic Therapy?
Somatic therapy employs various techniques to achieve its goals, such as
Body Awareness
You learn to tune into bodily sensations, emotions, and patterns, fostering self-awareness and insight.
Breathwork
Techniques like deep breathing help regulate the nervous system, reducing stress and promoting relaxation.
Movement
Through exercises like yoga, dance, or tai chi, you can release tension, process emotions, and reconnect with your bodies.
Touch
Therapists may use gentle touch to facilitate awareness of bodily sensations and promote a sense of safety and trust.
Mindfulness
Practices like meditation encourage present-moment awareness, helping you observe and accept your experiences without judgment.
Trauma Release
Techniques such as Somatic Experiencing or Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) focus on discharging stored tension and trauma from the body, allowing for healing.
Overall, somatic therapy aims to integrate the mind and body, promoting holistic healing and wellbeing.
