Healing Trauma Through Mind + Body Connection
Have you hit a point in talk therapy where words don’t seem enough? Ever notice your body reacting in ways you can't quite explain, like a knot in your stomach during stress or a sudden chill when you recall a past event?
It's not just coincidence; it's your body speaking its history of trauma and stress, whispering truths that words alone can't capture.
Many of us move through life with physical and emotional patterns we can't always understand. Chronic tension in your shoulders, unexplained anxiety, or restless sleep might not just be random occurrences but could be echoes of past experiences waiting to be understood and healed.
This is where Somatic Experiencing can introduce you to a new path of discovery and recovery.
What is Somatic Experiencing Therapy?
Somatic Experiencing (SE) is an innovative form of therapy that helps you tap into your body's natural ability to heal from trauma and stress. Unlike traditional talk therapy, which primarily engages your thoughts and emotions through conversation, SE focuses on the bodily sensations that are often overlooked. It’s a gentle yet powerful approach to healing that listens to your body's wisdom, helping you release, rebuild, and renew.
What You Can Expect
A Safe Space: From our very first session, my priority is to establish a sense of safety and trust. We will begin to appreciate that everything you express makes sense and wants to be acknowledged and understood.
Gentle Guidance: Together, we'll navigate your bodily sensations, images, movements, thoughts, and emotions. Through gentle guidance, I will help you understand the wisdom of what your body is communicating.
Empowerment and Integration: As we progress, you may notice subtle shifts in how you feel physically, emotionally, and possibly even spiritually. The goal of SE is to increase your capacity for life’s challenges. You may feel lighter and more open, but you might also feel bolder and more capable.
Somatic Experiencing is about honoring the stories your body wants to tell in a space where judgment is replaced with curiosity and compassion. It's for anyone who's felt stuck, misunderstood, or simply curious about what lies beneath their surface.
As a therapist deeply committed to the holistic well-being of my clients, I invite you to discover the healing potential of your own body. Whether you're facing trauma, anxiety, relationship issues, or the everyday challenges of being human, together, we can find a path forward.
