SOMATIC THERAPY
Somatic therapy is a body-oriented approach that explores how stress, trauma, and emotions show up in the body. By bringing awareness to physical sensations, nervous system responses, and emotions, somatic therapy can help you feel more connected to your body, regulate distress, and develop a greater sense of safety.
WHAT SOMATIC THERAPY CAN HELP WITH:
-
Childhood & Attachment Trauma: Addressing nervous system responses shaped by emotionally immature, neglectful, or abusive caregivers.
-
Betrayal & Relationship Trauma: Working with physical anxiety, emotional triggers, and feelings of unsafety following betrayal or relational hurt.
-
Emotional & Narcissistic Abuse: Exploring the effects of chronic stress, walking on eggshells, and feeling constantly on guard.
-
Anxiety & Hypervigilance: Managing racing thoughts, physical tension, restlessness, and difficulty relaxing.
-
Emotional Numbness & Disconnection: Reconnecting with your body, emotions, and needs after overwhelming or prolonged stress.
-
People-Pleasing & Boundary Difficulties: Understanding automatic survival responses, such as freezing, shutting down, or fawning.
