Somatic Experiencing
Somatic Experiencing is a body-based approach to healing trauma and stress. Instead of focusing only on thoughts, this approach works with the nervous system to help release stored stress and restore a sense of safety in the body.
Many people who feel “stuck” in anxiety or trauma responses benefit from this approach.
Signs You May Benefit from Somatic Experiencing
- Feeling constantly on edge or hypervigilant
- Chronic anxiety or stress
- Difficulty relaxing or “shutting off”
- Feeling disconnected from your body
- Trauma symptoms that haven’t improved with talk therapy alone
- Physical symptoms like tension, fatigue, or restlessness
How Somatic Experiencing Helps
This approach helps you:
- Regulate your nervous system
- Release stored stress and trauma responses
- Increase body awareness
- Feel more grounded and present
- Reduce anxiety and overwhelm
My Approach to Somatic Experiencing
In sessions, we gently explore physical sensations and nervous system responses at a pace that feels safe. This allows your body to process and release stress without becoming overwhelmed.
This work is collaborative, gradual, and focused on helping you feel more stable and in control.
