This relief that is often held in your body comes by helping you achieve conscious realization, physical releasing methods and regulation of your nervous system through our efforts.
What is Somatic Therapy?
Somatic Therapy is a type of body-centered psychotherapy that focuses on the indivisible link between mind and body. Unlike traditional therapies that predominantly focus on the exploration of thoughts and emotions through verbal means, somatic therapies focus on the direct exploration of bodily sensations, movement and internal awareness to help release stored stress and trauma. Practitioners of this field believe that unaddressed emotional experiences often have physical expressions – through muscle tension, pain, or chronic patterns of stress – and that physical responses encourage greater healing.
This therapeutic method combines traditional psychological support with mind-body practices, including breath work, grounding exercises, physical movement, and awareness techniques, to help you develop a greater degree of self-regulation and emotional resilience.

How Somatic Therapy Works
Body Awareness Practices – How emotions can be physically felt. Going through several pages on this topic has helped me realize that the methods of using the movement and the breath to eliminate tension and manage the nervous system, as described by Bailey and Way, require practicing different forms of breathing.
After reading several pages on this subject, I have understood that the techniques of applying the movement and the breath to relieve tension and control the nervous system described by Bailey and Way involve practicing the various types of breathing.
Mind-Body Integration – The correlation of the physical senses and the feeling of emotional deity to disinfect the same.
Through the messages emitted by your body, you shall overcome tensions that have been there since time immemorial and be more emotionally well-managed and reclaim a sense of control over your responses to stressors.

What to Expect from Somatic Therapy
Somatic Therapy sessions can vary greatly from practitioners, but getting to the basic idea behind somatic therapy, mindfulness, talk therapy and what are considered to be alternative forms of physical therapy are all combined. The therapist helps you to focus on your body or resurrecting of memories of the traumatic experiences and pays attention to any physical responses you have once the emotion is experienced or memory is recovered.
Treatment techniques include deep breathing, relaxation exercises, and meditation, each technique being used in order to help to relieve symptoms.
