Types of Somatic Therapy

 

Types of Somatic Therapy

Somatic Experiencing: This form of therapy concentrates on resolving stress, trauma, and shock-related bodily symptoms. During this therapy, you will learn to release built-up bodily sensations in a safe space so that it no longer becomes a trigger for you.

Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): In the context of EMDR therapy, participants are encouraged to briefly recall traumatic events while directing their attention to an external stimulus, such as lateral eye movements. Allowing the mind to recover from psychological trauma in the same way that the body recovers from physical trauma is the objective of this method.

Hakomi: This therapeutic approach heals the body and mind through the practice of mindfulness, which involves being aware of one's internal state and surroundings. Throughout the entire session, you remain in a state of mindfulness to help you recognize and work with emotionally-charged material.

Neurosomatic Therapy: With neurosomatic therapy, the hidden sources of tension and physical pain in the nervous system, skeletal system, and soft tissues are identified. The tension and discomfort are subsequently alleviated and resolved through the implementation of posture work, massage, and exercises.

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy: By integrating psychotherapeutic principles with Hakomi method techniques, sensorimotor therapy aims to facilitate a re-experiencing of a particular traumatic event while subsequently altering its resolution. The objective is to provide you with a sense of closure.
