Somatic Therapy
Somatic (Body-Centered) Psychotherapy
Are you looking to embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and transformation? At our practice, we offer Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, a specialized form of therapy that focuses on the mind-body connection to address trauma, emotional distress, and personal growth. Our experienced therapists are here to guide you through this unique therapeutic approach, helping you to cultivate resilience, restore balance, and reconnect with yourself on a profound level.
What is Sensorimotor Psychotherapy?
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is an innovative therapeutic modality that integrates traditional talk therapy with somatic (body-centered) techniques. Developed by Dr. Pat Ogden, this approach recognizes that trauma and emotional distress are not only stored in the mind but also in the body. By incorporating techniques that engage both the body and the mind, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy aims to release tension, resolve trauma, and promote healing from within.
How Does Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Work?
In Sensorimotor Psychotherapy sessions, our therapists will guide you through a variety of exercises and techniques designed to:
Increase Body Awareness: Learn to tune into the sensations, emotions, and physical experiences present in your body.
Explore Movement and Posture: Discover how your body responds to different thoughts, feelings, and memories through gentle movement and posture exploration.
Identify and Process Trauma: Safely explore past experiences and traumatic memories stored in the body, allowing for integration and healing.
Develop Coping Strategies: Learn practical skills to regulate emotions, manage stress, and cope with difficult situations in everyday life.
Foster Mind-Body Integration: Cultivate a deeper connection between your thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations to promote overall well-being and resilience.
Who Can Benefit from Sensorimotor Psychotherapy?
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy can be beneficial for individuals experiencing a wide range of challenges, including:
