How Somatic Therapy is Different
Most potential clients want to know how somatic therapy looks different from a talk therapy session they may be accustomed to. Typically, most therapy uses a "top-down" approach, using cognitive strategies to help relieve symptoms. Somatic Experiencing® relieves stress, shock and trauma by tracking the nervous system and body sensations. While there is definitely talking, there are periods of getting quiet while we allow for you to get curious about your sensations in order to unwind unhelpful patterns in your nervous system caused by trauma.
Additional Trauma Healing Services
-
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and is a psychotherapy treatment that was originally designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories.
-
Intuitive eating is an evidence-based, mind-body health approach that can help you learn how to honor your health by listening to your body and responding to its direct messages in order to meet your psychological and physiological needs.
-
Ideally our earliest experiences of being soothed, nurtured and held in a bonded relationship happen though attuned touch. However, some of the deepest shock experiences held in the body occur when we are so young that our brains and nervous system are not yet sufficiently developed to process those experiences cognitively. The skilled and appropriate use of touch can be an essential part of the healing process and provide corrective emotional experiences, especially when words are not available, when there were significant attachment ruptures that were never repaired, or when the body is stuck in survival mode as a baseline state. Touch work can involve no touch at all, focusing instead to resolve the activation associated with anticipating closeness, or voicing the ability to say no. You and your therapist will determine if and when touch is appropriate.
