Somatic Therapy
Nervous System Regulation and Trauma-Informed Therapy
Somatic therapy focuses on the connection between the mind and body, recognizing that stress and trauma are often stored in the nervous system.
When the body remains in a prolonged state of fight, flight, or freeze, individuals may experience chronic anxiety, tension, emotional overwhelm, or shutdown.
Somatic approaches help clients gently reconnect with bodily sensations and develop the ability to regulate the nervous system.
This process supports the release of stored stress responses and restores a sense of safety and balance.
