Somatic therapy treats trauma stored physically in your body, like tension in hunched shoulders. A practitioner helps you locate these sensations, understand the emotions attached to them, and release the trapped stress.
So what is somatic therapy and do I need it? Somatic therapy focuses on how trauma is stored in the body. If the tension in your body could talk, what would it say? If your hunched shoulders could talk, what would they say? So it's where your emotions, it's where the experience, the visual, the sensory, everything got trapped in your body. And so doing the somatic work is really about working with a practitioner who knows how to help you connect with where that is in your body and how to release it.
