What is Somatic Psychotherapy

Even when your mind forgets, your body remembers.

The way you feel, react, and protect yourself is often shaped by earlier experiences or the ways you’ve learned to cope. These responses aren't faults—they’re messages.

They deserve understanding, not fixing.

Somatic psychotherapy may help you slowly listen to your body’s signals.

• It may help you notice when your body is looking for safety, connection, or calm, especially if you’ve experienced trauma, stress, or any other sensory overwhelm.

• By paying attention to sensations, movement, breath, and instinct, this approach helps you reconnect with yourself more deeply.

• It’s not just about thinking—it’s about feeling and sensing, too.

• Change starts when you feel safe enough to tune in.

• When your body has a voice in the process, real change can happen.

Re-Regulate Your Nervous System

• Come back to safety through the body.
  Learn grounding and embodiment practices that help your nervous system return to a state of calm and connection, supporting your ventral vagal pathway—the part of your system that allows you to feel safe, present, and socially engaged.

• Understand what activates you.
  Notice the situations, people, or sensations that trigger fear, freeze, fawn, or anxiety. Developing awareness of these patterns helps you respond with more choice and care, rather than reacting automatically.

• Gently process stored emotions.
  In a safe, supportive, and attuned way you’ll be invited to explore and release emotions or past experiences that may still be present in the body at your own pace.

• Build nervous system resilience.
  Discover practical tools to help you manage stress, fear, and overwhelm—especially designed to support neurodiverse ways of being. This work strengthens your ability to stay grounded, connected, and more fully yourself.
