SOMATIC THERAPIES in psychotherapy involve integrating the connection of mind/body awareness into the therapeutic process.
With this focus, one is asked to recognize the connection between their physical sensations and emotional experiences.
Techniques may include but are not limited to breath work, movement, and mindfulness, which are used to address and release stored tension in the body. This way of working can often be helpful for trauma-based experiences and can include various techniques such as EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Psychmotor, Prolonged Exposure, Brainspotting, Eriksonian Hypnosis.
