Somatic Therapy

Did You Know That Somatic Therapy Can Free You From distress? 

Experiencing significant conflicts or trauma not only effects the mind, it can also negatively impact the body, spirit, and environmental interactions.  It can form trapped energy in the brain and body causing you to feel stuck, chronically stressed and in pain.  

Recurring distressing thoughts can lead to angry outbursts, difficulty sleeping as well as impair cognitive abilities.  

Avoidance of thoughts, feelings, and situations makes matters much worse, and can result in unhealthy coping strategies, more intense distress, as well as physical illness or disability.  

However, there is a quick and effective way to help you let go of distress caused by past negative events so you can be happy and free from mental health difficulties.

What Is Somatic Therapy?

Somatic therapy is a body-centred approach that explores sensations, as well as emotions and memories experienced within the framework of the body.  The primary focus of this therapy is to heal emotional distress and restore balance to the body’s energy system, which can become disrupted due to experiencing stressors, conflicts or traumas. 

To facilitate healing, some of the techniques utilised may include: mindfulness; focussing on body sensations and emotions; descriptive language; visualisation; role play; as well as tapping on acupressure points. 

The application of these various techniques can help you to safely release trapped energy and emotions that are attached to traumatic thoughts, create cognitive shifts, enable you to feel free and move forward with your life.  

Why Is Somatic Therapy So Effective?

When we encounter a significant conflict or trauma our sense experiences such as what we hear, see, taste, smell, as well as trapped energy generated by our perceptions of the conflict are all stored within the framework of our biological system.  Our thoughts in response to stressors can generate fear, anger and all forms of other emotions, all of which are experienced as a felt sense in the body.  Following a trauma, waves of negative energy can be sent throughout the body as well as become trapped in specific parts of the brain and bodily organs.  

With somatic therapy, we can safely release this negative energy, alter maladaptive beliefs, transform traumatic memories, and restore balance to the mind, body and spirit.
