Somatic Therapies
What the psyche experiences, so does the body. What the body experiences, so does the psyche.
Somatic therapy explores how the body expresses deeply painful experiences, applying mind-body healing to aid with trauma recovery.
Strengthening the physical body strengthens parts of our psyche and vice versa.
Feeling stuck? Move. Any way you can. Walk. Dance. Ride that bike sitting in your garage.
Feeling rigid and inflexible to others’ ideas or changes in life? Stretch. Daily. You're watching television anyway. Sit on the floor and stretch your body. Notice the difference between sides.
Feeling unstable and on shaky ground? Practice balance and strengthening your feet-to-ground connection. Walk barefoot outside.
Feeling weak and powerless in your job, your relationship, your life? You guessed it. Lift weights. Increase your muscle mass. Develop physical strength and the rest will follow.
I can help you identify realistic and effective steps toward whole-body healing.
