What is Somatic Based Therapy?

somatic-focused therapy is a unique approach to healing that centers on the deep connection between our physical bodies and our emotional well-being. This therapy recognizes that emotional stress, trauma, and tension can be held within our bodies, impacting our physical and emotional health. Somatic therapy encourages individuals to become more attuned to their bodily sensations and uses techniques such as mindfulness and breathwork to promote a deeper understanding of their emotions.
