What is Somatic Psychotherapy

Somatic psychotherapy invites us to move beneath the storylines of our experiences and into the felt sense of what is happening in the present moment. Here, we can begin to encounter what the body is carrying—patterns, memories, and adaptations shaped by experiences that may not have been fully processed or resolved.

​

At the same time, we can listen for something else: the body’s inherent movement toward health and wholeness. Rather than approaching healing as something we need to impose, somatic psychotherapy creates space to listen to what the body is already communicating and the movement toward healing that is already present.

​

Through this process, unresolved experiences can be met in new ways, opening possibilities for greater understanding, integration, choice, and a deeper connection with ourselves.
