Somatic Therapy

Discover the Power of Your Body in Healing and Emotional Regulation

Somatic therapy is a holistic, body-centered approach that recognizes the deep connection between our physical sensations, emotions, and past experiences. It operates on the understanding that unresolved trauma, stress, and emotional pain can become “stuck” in the body, leading to physical symptoms, chronic tension, and emotional dysregulation.

Unlike traditional talk therapy that primarily focuses on cognitive processing, somatic therapy incorporates bodily awareness and movement to help release stored tension, regulate the nervous system, and facilitate profound healing. At Ideal Psychology Group, our compassionate somatic therapists guide you in tuning into your body’s signals, empowering you to process deeply held patterns and cultivate a greater sense of calm, presence, and vitality.

In Somatic Therapy, you’ll have the opportunity to:

• Release stored tension and emotional imprints from past stress or trauma.
• Regulate your nervous system, reducing symptoms of anxiety and hyperarousal.
• Develop a deeper connection to your body’s sensations and internal wisdom.
• Process difficult emotions and memories through bodily awareness.
• Cultivate a greater sense of presence, grounding, and inner calm.

Signs You Might Benefit from Somatic Therapy

• Experiencing chronic physical tension, pain, or unexplained bodily symptoms.
• Feeling disconnected from your body or emotions.
• Struggling with the lingering effects of past trauma (PTSD, C-PTSD).
• Frequent feelings of anxiety, panic, or overwhelm that feel “stuck” in your body.
• Difficulty with emotional regulation, leading to intense mood swings or numbness.
• Finding that traditional talk therapy hasn’t fully addressed your distress.
• Seeking a holistic approach that integrates physical and emotional well-being.
• Struggling with dissociation or feeling “out of your body.”
