Somatic Practice

One of the most challenging aspects of renegotiating traumatic experiences and the symptoms of unresolved trauma is the way trauma is carried and expressed in the body. Traumatic stress can affect multiple body systems, and its impact can linger long after an event has passed, influencing how we feel, think, relate to others, and move through the world.
​
Somatic Practice is a regulation focused model that addresses the effects of stress physiology on the body and its systems. By working directly with different body systems and tissues, it supports the regulation of stress responses, enhances somatic awareness and interoception, and helps untangle the complexity of trauma coupling dynamics that often interfere with the change process. This approach assists individuals in developing the skills necessary to successfully renegotiate traumatic experiences and patterns that have kept them feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and limited by past experiences.
​
Including the body in the healing process can open new pathways for recovery. As we develop the capacity to engage the body in the resolution of traumatic stress symptoms, recovery becomes increasingly possible. The somatic change process supports greater regulation, resilience, self-awareness, and choice, helping individuals move beyond survival patterns and live more fully as themselves.
