Somatic Therapy in California | Well Clinic

Past traumas can become trapped in your body … especially those experienced during your earliest childhood. Somatic Therapy explores how those traumas manifest themselves in your facial expressions, posture, muscular pain, nervous tics and other forms of body language.

Also known as body psychotherapy, this holistic practice examines your whole being: body, mind, thinking, feeling and sensing. At times, the focus will be on your experience in the moment, rather than reflecting on past traumas or stressors.

Somatic Therapy integrates current research in neuroscience, body awareness practices from both Eastern and Western cultures and aspects of several other therapeutic practices.
