What is somatic healing?

Somatic. What does it mean?

The buzz around somatic healing is at an all time high and for good reason.

The field of psychotherapy has long held the standard for healing our minds. At a psychotherapy appointment, we might tell the full story of what has happened to us. We may receive validation from our caring therapist, inquiry on where our thoughts might be stuck, and a treatment plan for how we can move forward to heal. This is one piece of the puzzle.

The field of medicine has long held the standard for healing our bodies. At a doctor’s appointment, we may tell the full story of what our symptoms have been. We may receive orders for tests, prescription medication, or perhaps lifestyle tips for alleviating our symptoms. This is one piece of the puzzle.

The field of somatic healing is quickly becoming popular because somatic practices attune us not to what happened, not necessarily to the symptoms our body is presenting, but to the subtle and sometimes nearly imperceptible messages from your nervous system.

Somatic healing is feeling like you’re the whole picture on the box while you’re piecing together the rest of the puzzle.

Somatic healing can bring results after one session because it attunes an individual to listen more accurately to the whole of themselves.

When we see professionals for healing, we are asked to adopt their language and their methods for the sake of relief.

Somatic coaching allows you to better discern what language and methods of treatment are aligned for YOU.

You get to decide how you speak to yourself, what labels you adopt, and what treatment you sign up for when it’s time to choose.
