Somatic therapy operates from the idea that the human body can store trauma and painful emotions internally. By working with a person’s body to help them release the trauma and other feelings and events held within it, the person can begin to feel more in balance emotionally. Several techniques are used during sessions guided by a trained therapist.
A therapist who provides somatic therapy can employ various techniques to help the person alleviate their symptoms.
These techniques include:
Somatic therapy proves effective in helping a variety of mental health disorders. This therapy can be particularly effective for people who struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but it can also work well for people who have anxiety, depression, and other mental health disorders.

Somatic therapy can help a person identify their body’s signals and alter how they work so they can feel safer and ease their symptoms of poor mental health.
The first session of somatic therapy will include the therapist talking about how the process works and setting goals. They will ask about a person’s history with trauma or other events that may contribute to their poor mental health. The therapist will determine which parts of the person’s body may be holding onto the damage done and will talk about what types of touch or movement they will use.
Sessions often begin with grounding techniques to help center the person. The therapist will guide them through the different techniques during the sessions and then help them return to their regular state of mind at the end of the appointment..
