Somatic therapy invites you to notice what is happening inside your body as a source of valuable information. This might include sensations, temperature shifts, tension, breath patterns, or movement impulses. These cues are part of how your body processes stress, emotion, and past experiences. Many people are disconnected from these signals, especially if they have experienced trauma, burnout, or chronic stress. Somatic work helps rebuild that connection slowly and with care. The therapist might guide you through body-based practices such as grounding exercises, gentle movement, breath awareness, or focused attention on areas of tension. The goal is not to fix the body but to listen to it. When your body is supported to release or process what it has been holding, your sense of calm and safety often grows as a result. Somatic therapies can be especially helpful when talking about something feels too intense or when you feel stuck even after reflecting on an issue. Some people find that the most powerful shifts happen when they start including the body in the work. This approach can support people who feel anxious, shut down, disconnected, or overwhelmed. It can also help with chronic pain or stress-related symptoms. The therapist will always move at a pace that supports your sense of safety and stability. You do not need to be physically flexible or have experience with body-based work to benefit. Somatic therapy begins with noticing what is already present in your body and learning how to relate to it with more understanding and care.
