What is Somatic experiencing?

Somatic therapy is a form of body-centered therapy that looks at the connection of mind and body and uses both psychotherapy and physical therapies for holistic healing. 

In somatic therapy, we educate clients about what body awareness is, and how to cultivate body awareness in and around your body. This is a prerequisite to creating change on a cellular level. We begin by identifying areas of tension and areas of constriction, as well as thoughts, feelings and behaviors that promote a feeling of calm and safety, and bring these to  conscious awareness. We may practice something small such as softening a “hunched” back  to a more straightened posture, to  begin working towards body alignment. By focusing on, and amplifying the sensations in your body, you begin to deepen your healing experience and allow for  change that you can “feel” in your skin.
