Somatic therapy helps you understand and release trauma, anxiety, and stress that may be stored in the body.
Somatic therapy focuses on the connection between your mind, body, and nervous system. It helps you notice physical sensations, tension, numbness, panic, or uneasiness that may be connected to unresolved stress or trauma.
Sometimes your body reacts to present situations as if an old threat is happening again. Somatic therapy helps you safely process those stored responses instead of only talking about them.
Talk therapy can help you understand your thoughts and emotions, but trauma is often held in the body too. That is why some people feel stuck even after they can logically explain what happened.
Somatic therapy uses body awareness, grounding, titration, sequencing, somatic experiencing, brainspotting, IFS, AEDP, and other trauma-informed methods to help release stored emotional and physical stress at the root.
Holistic Mental Health Counseling offers somatic therapy for clients in New York, New Jersey, and virtually. Our therapists support people dealing with trauma, anxiety, PTSD, panic, dissociation, grief, depression, chronic stress, and emotional overwhelm.
