When trauma, overwhelm, or chronic stress lives in the body, tension often persists even after the mind has moved on. You may notice unexplained tightness, a sense of being “on edge,” or the feeling that your nervous system is still stuck in survival mode.
Somatic Therapy helps your nervous system feel safe again. Through gentle, body-centered touch, breath awareness, grounding, and mindful dialogue, this work supports your system in releasing held tension and nervous system charge—not by reliving the past, but by helping your BODY complete what was never fully processed.
Unlike traditional talk therapy alone, somatic approaches recognize that stress and overwhelm are stored in your body's felt-sense experience. When the nervous system remains in protective patterns, it affects everything from emotion and energy levels to physiology and movement. Trauma is just held in your thoughts—it lives as a pent-up charge in your nervous system.
Using trauma-informed, non-relive techniques (including elements of Somatic Experiencing, Holographic Memory Resolution, and other body-centric approaches), sessions help you reclaim parts of yourself, fostering a sense of safety, ease, and presence from the inside out. Whether you feel overwhelmed, frozen, or disconnected from your bodily experience, Somatic Therapy supports deeper regulation, resilience, and a renewed capacity to live with more ease and aliveness.
