Somatic trauma therapy deals with the impact that traumatic experience has on the instinctual body. Experiencing shock-trauma, abuse or developmental trauma leaves marks on the bodies experience of itself. Exposure to highly stressful, prolonged and inescapable situations shapes how our bodies grow; how they function in the present.
Impacts of trauma on the physiology are often overlooked. This is why talk therapy alone may not be so helpful when trying to resolve post traumatic stress.
Some parts of the brain shut down when re-triggered. Attempting to move through and integrate past traumatic experience too quickly therefore does not work. Because of this, somatic trauma therapy attempts to heal the bodies experience from the ‘bottom up’. And in bite sized bits, rather than through cognitive methods that focus on only retelling the story. Somatic trauma therapy is slower, exploratory, and gentle.
Together we find ways to renegotiate and integrate difficult experiences. So that your body can manage and reorganize its experience around the past, and feel more fully alive in the present.
