Somatic Trauma Therapy: Healing Trauma Through Mind-Body Connection
Somatic trauma therapy helps trauma by focusing on the connection between the mind and body to address the physical manifestations of traumatic experiences. This approach recognizes that trauma can be stored in the body, leading to chronic tension, discomfort, or dysfunctional patterns. Through techniques such as body awareness, breath work, and gentle physical movements, somatic therapy helps individuals become more attuned to their bodily sensations and release pent-up stress. By processing trauma through the body, this therapy aims to restore a sense of safety, promote relaxation, and facilitate emotional healing, helping individuals reclaim their physical and emotional well-being.
