Treatment Approach

  • A integral holistic physiological trauma support blending Somatic Experiencing, Bodynamics, SE Touch NeuroAffective Touch, Somatic Movement Therapy, and Yoga Therapy recognizes that traumatic experiences are stored not just in the mind, but also in the body's nervous system. The aim is to release this "trapped" trauma through physical awareness and movement to restore the nervous system's balance. This differs from traditional talk therapy, which is a "top-down" approach that focuses on verbal and cognitive processing. Somatic therapy is a "bottom-up" approach, using the body as the starting point for healing. It acknowledges that trauma can leave a physiological imprint, leading to chronic tension, hypervigilance, and emotional dysregulation.
