What is Somatic Trauma Recovery?
The word Somatic is translated from the Greek word “somatikos” or the French word “somatique”– meaning “pertaining to the body” or “the living body,”
Somatic Trauma Recovery is a method or type of body-based therapy that addresses the connection between mind, body, and spirit. A somatic or body-based psychotherapist relies upon a deep understanding of the nervous system; thereby, teaching clients to actively and regularly practice skillful use of awareness, breath, mindfulness, co-regulation, and movement to engage their body’s natural healing impulse.
In addition to talking interventions, somatic therapy practitioners use mind-body exercises and other physical techniques to help clients release the pent-up tension and old brace patterns that have been negatively affecting their mental, emotional, physical, energetic, and spiritual wellbeing.
Benefits:
Somatic counseling or somatic psychotherapy is an effective way to help patients suffering from various types of traumas learn to cope, recover, and more live more fully in the present moment.
What is your primary focus?
Our providers work with people who have been struggling with stress, overwhelm, and trauma. We use trauma-specific healing methods to effectively support people in addressing symptoms that arise from single incident trauma, developmental trauma, or complex trauma. Our bodies may manifest the impact of trauma in various ways – anxiety, depression, sleep issues, muscle tension, emotional dysregulation, chronic illness, issues, and even addiction. These common issues have been shown to be linked to past traumatic experiences.
