Focus on that mind-body connection.
Somatic therapy is just that – focusing on the mind and body, allowing us to become more aware of how our body physically expresses our emotions.
Talk therapy can reach its limit as a person can only “talk” about something so much.
You’ve reached that “stuck” point. You keep talking about it repeatedly with little to no relief.
Somatic therapy allows a person to tap into unprocessed and unresolved areas, tune into the body for a healthy release, and process what hasn’t been assimilated yet.
You know the feeling.
Fight or flight kicks in as some experience triggers an emotional response. As a result, your heart starts racing. You become tense and shaky, and you shut down or avoid what’s happening around you.
It’s a survival response intended to protect us and keep us safe from threat or danger. It’s your body’s way of responding physically to that threat.
But why doesn’t it go away?
The more you become used to responding to threats, the more your body remembers this and continues to misfire even when there is no danger. That threat and response becomes hardwired and constant.
Somatic therapy helps you rewire, reconnect, and regulate your nervous system so that it can accurately respond to safety and threats.
This form of therapy allows you to become aware of your body’s response and learn ways to reduce the stress that some memories in your body create.
There is hope.
You will learn techniques to release debilitating, built-up emotions in your body and begin to feel a sense of relief and calm.
Your body will no longer resort to an increased heart rate or tightness in your chest every time you perceive danger or threat.
You will be able to look at the world through a different lens, from an outside perspective, more clearly and less scary.
You will release the physical sensations that create tension in your body.
You will feel free again.
Take the next step and free yourself from these past experiences.
