Somatic Therapy Here In Marietta

We invite the body into talk therapy to increase awareness and mindfulness.

Slowing down is the key ingredient to helping you move through trauma without re-traumatizing yourself and finding the solutions to change your relationship with yourself.

Repeated trauma and/or stressors can often impact the nervous system in a way that it takes it outside of its normal rhythm. This trauma builds up energy that is may remain stuck and has not been released. When this happens the nervous system may have difficulty handling the ebbs and flows associated with daily life. Not functioning within its normal flow makes it difficult to concentrate, manage emotions, handle stress, interact with others, or remain in the present moment.

Your therapist will assist you in taking it slow to process what is coming up in sessions.

Somatic therapy aims to bring harmony back to your nervous system. This method slows you down as you revisit the trauma/stress to explore your sensations in the present moment. We may pause during parts of the session to bring awareness to what is going on in your body, memory, senses, or sensations you are noticing.

Bringing mindfulness and flow back to your body can help you not only notice changes within your body but helps to reset your body’s natural flow within the nervous system along with releasing built-up energy caused by repeated stress, shame, and trauma.

The body holds the wisdom to Heal and Transform so you can live with less stress & anxiety & more peace and confidence.
