What is Somatic Based Therapy in Calgary?
Somatic-focused therapy is a unique approach to healing that centers on the deep connection between our physical bodies and our emotional well-being. This therapy recognizes that emotional stress, trauma, and tension can be held within our bodies, impacting our physical and emotional health. Somatic psychotherapy encourages individuals to become more attuned to their bodily sensations and uses techniques such as mindfulness and breathwork to promote a deeper understanding of their emotions.
Simply put, Somatic therapy is a form of psychotherapy that integrates body-focused techniques into the therapeutic process. This approach is grounded in the belief that our bodies hold onto past trauma and stress, which can manifest as physical symptoms and emotional distress. Clients can uncover and process unresolved issues more effectively by tuning into these bodily sensations.
