Somatic therapy is an approach to psychotherapy that considers the relationship between the mind and body. It recognises that emotional experiences can be reflected in physical sensations, patterns of tension and the way the nervous system responds to stress.
Sessions may combine talking therapy with techniques that encourage greater awareness of physical sensations, breathing, posture or movement. The exact approach will depend on the therapist and your individual needs.
Somatic therapy may be used to support people experiencing anxiety, stress, trauma-related difficulties, emotional overwhelm or physical responses connected with difficult experiences.
It may also appeal to people who find that talking alone does not fully address how they experience emotions or who would like to develop a greater awareness of the connection between their body and emotional wellbeing.
There are different forms of body-focused and somatic therapy, so it is important to find a therapist whose training and approach are appropriate for what you would like support with.
The London Counselling & Therapy Directory can help you find somatic therapists in London based on your needs, preferences and the type of support you are looking for.
