What is meant by somatic therapy?
Somatic therapy explores how the body expresses deeply painful experiences, applying mind-body healing to aid with trauma recovery. There is no universal timeline for healing trauma through somatic therapy. For some, meaningful shifts can happen in just a few weeks. For others, it may take months or even years to fully process their deep-rooted experiences.
Is somatic healing real?
Somatic therapy uses body awareness, breathwork and movement exercises to be more aware of bodily sensations and release stored emotions. This type of therapy is often used to treat conditions such as PTSD, anxiety, depression and chronic pain. It helps people process and release trauma stored in the body. While somatic exercises alone may not lead to significant weight loss, their role in managing cortisol levels, addressing pain, and fostering healthier habits makes them a valuable addition to a weight loss journey.
