Somatic therapies facilitate resolution of trauma and PTSD responses. We can’t always think our way out of traumatic experiences. One of the biggest issues that we face as human beings is that we can feel trapped by our own physical and emotional states. These are the times that we feel panicky and anxious, without the ability to calm down. Other times we feel depressed and unmotivated and can’t seem to accomplish simple tasks.
The brilliance of somatic interventions is the ability to directly intervene by developing new neural pathways and behaviors that provide alternative ways of responding to your environment without getting stuck in the habits of the past.
Somatic Experiencing is a naturalist, body-focused form of therapy aimed at relieving the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. It is indicated for people who are looking for a gentler approach than EMDR. It can improve anxiety, depression, emotional self-regulation, trauma release, anger, and pain.
Join me in this informative video explaining the science behind how emotions can become trapped within our bodies. I will show you a map of how trauma is stored within our cellular memory and give you 5 ways we can hack this cycle towards emotional freedom.
If you have scheduled a session with me, please watch this video before our appointment time. Also, read "How to Get the Most out of Your SE Session" under the Somatic Experiencing tab. May you live in peace!
