Somatic Therapy is a "bottom-up" (using the body to change the mind) approach to change while talk therapy works "top-down" (using thoughts to change feelings). It is the process of using physical sensations and the nervous system to change your emotional state and thought patterns. Instead of trying to "think" your way out of a feeling, you work directly with the body's survival instincts to signal to the brain that you are safe. We focus on your body’s internal signals to help you process and release "stuck" survival energy—like the fight, flight, or freeze response.

 

Key Techniques We Use:

• Body Awareness: Learning to "track" physical sensations like tension, warmth, or shallow breathing.

• Grounding: Simple practices to keep you present and safe when difficult emotions arise.

• Resourcing: Identifying "anchors"—memories or sensations—that help you feel calm and capable.

• Titration: Processing small pieces of stress at a time to ensure you never feel overwhelmed.
