An integrative approach to treating the whole human body. It is based on understanding that our experiences, emotions, and stress can be held not only in our thoughts but also in physical sensations and patterns in the body. In somatic therapy you are invited to notice things like breath, posture, tension, body movement in order to gain deeper awareness that will help in regulating nervous system. Somatic approaches are highly effective for trauma symptoms as these are often experienced very physically in the body.
