What is somatic therapy?

Somatic therapy operates off the idea that what happens to you in your life is stored not only in your mind but also in your body. By focusing on both the physical sensations in your body and the discussion of your problems, it is a comprehensive approach to therapy.

What is somatherapy & how does it work?

SOMAtherapy is a space in which to reveal insights and create strategies to positively transform our feelings, thoughts and movements. Life is full of change and experience, challenges and uncertainies, some of which can generate hurt, anger and fear. When we are hurt, by people or events, it is natural to react by protecting ourselves.

What is the difference between regular psychotherapy and somatic therapy?

In regular psychotherapy, the practitioner engages only the mind. In somatic therapy, the body is the foundational point for healing. Practitioners of somatic therapy believe that a person’s negative emotions — such as those experienced during a traumatic event — can stay locked inside the body.

What is a somatherapy session?

A SOMAtherapy session works with what is going on NOW by encouraging a mindful focus on body sensations and your unique body mind responses to events and thoughts. Through gently learning to recognise how we judge ourselves we can then practice ways of being less self critical and begin to become more open, compassionate, and curious.
