Somatic Therapy

Somatic Therapy could work for you. Have you ever tried to think yourself out of a panic attack or stop a traumatic memory from intruding upon you? Have you been taking medication for your pain, anxiety, or depression and only had a so-so response? Have you learned how to change your thinking and behaviors only to find yourself still stuck in the same cycle?

If you have already established a relationship you value with a therapist or other provider but are interested in also trying one of these interventions, feel free to give us a call. We are happy to coordinate your care with any of your current providers and offer these interventions in addition to what you are already doing. We can all work together to bring you the results you are looking for.

1. You will find yourself having less of a reaction to previously triggering memories and experiences. When the biological components of one’s experience are addressed in addition to the cognitive components, a more thorough processing of memories can take place. Long held muscle tension, established neurological patterns, and automatic emotional and behavioral responses can be transformed into healthier responses.
2. You will develop a stronger, more reliable sense of control of and comfort in your body. By more deeply incorporating a person’s physiology as part of their treatment for emotional distress, clients can more successfully notice the earliest signs of emotional triggers. This gives clients more awareness of what is happening for them so they have more time to utilize a wide variety of cognitive and behavioral skills to interrupt unpleasant experiences and emotions.
