Somatic/Tantric Body Work for Healing Trauma
Somatic therapy explores how the body expresses deeply painful experiences, applying mind-body healing to aid with trauma recovery. We offer a unique approach utilizing healing energy (Chi) that can be done in person as well as distance. Schedule here for a full session. (These types of sessions are not covered by insurance however we sometimes add a small amount of this work into therapy sessions with clients who are open to it).
What is Somatic Therapy?
Somatic therapy is a treatment focusing on the body and how emotions appear within the body. Somatic therapies posit that our body holds and expresses experiences and emotions, and traumatic events or unresolved emotional issues can become 'trapped' inside."
Benefits of Somatic Therapy
Since disturbing feelings often show up in the body in debilitating ways, somatic therapy aims to drain those emotions of their power, relieving pain and other manifestations of stress, such as disrupted sleep or an inability to concentrate.These types of emotions can stem from a variety of conditions and circumstances that somatic therapy may potentially help alleviate. They include:
-
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
-
complicated grief
-
depression
-
anxiety
-
trust and intimacy issues
-
self-esteem problems
