FAQ Somatic Therapy
Somatic Therapy is a body-centred approach that recognizes the connection between mind and body in healing. It focuses on how our physical experiences relate to our emotional well-being, helping release stored tension and trauma.
Somatic Therapy uniquely incorporates body awareness and physical experiences into the healing process. Rather than focusing solely on talk therapy, it includes body-based interventions and mindful movement to support healing.
Your therapist will guide you through body awareness exercises, mindful movement, and breathing techniques while helping you notice physical sensations. Sessions may include gentle movement, grounding exercises, and exploring the body-mind connection.
Somatic Therapy has shown effectiveness for trauma, anxiety, depression, and stress-related conditions. It’s particularly helpful for those who experience their challenges through physical symptoms. Individual results may vary.
Duration varies based on individual needs and goals. Some people experience significant shifts in 8-12 sessions, while others may benefit from longer-term support to develop deeper body awareness and healing.
Somatic Therapy is designed for a wide range of issues such as:
- Trauma and PTSD
- Chronic stress
- Anxiety disorders
- Physical tension
- Body image concerns
- Emotional regulation
- Dissociation
