How Does Somatic Therapy Work?
At Somatic Therapy Nashville, our skilled therapist guides you through a collaborative and gentle exploration of your body's sensations, movements, and patterns. Through this process, we use the nervous system language to help you develop a deeper understanding of the connections between your body, emotions, and thoughts. By bringing attention and awareness to your bodily experiences, you will begin to release tension, access blocked emotions, and transform limiting beliefs and patterns.
Our therapists are trained in various somatic approaches. They will work with you in a safe and supportive environment, honoring your unique experiences and pacing the sessions according to your needs. Through this compassionate partnership, you will learn to trust your body's innate capacity for healing and find new ways to navigate life with resilience and self empowerment.
Individual Psychotherapy: During individual therapy sessions, clients are encouraged to express their emotions, reflect on their past experiences, and gain insight into their patterns of thinking and behavior. Therapists employ mindfulness based approaches for clients to explore their inner world and work towards personal transformation.
Hakomi (Somatic Mindfulness Psychotherapy): The core principle of Hakomi is that the body and mind are interconnected, and by paying attention to the body's subtle cues and sensations, profound insights and healing can be accessed. We assist clients in discovering and transforming deeply held beliefs and unconscious patterns that may be limiting their growth and wellbeing.
Somatic Experiencing: In Somatic Experiencing sessions, clients are guided to pay attention to their bodily sensations, movements, and physiological responses while exploring traumatic experiences in a safe and supportive environment. The therapist helps clients develop awareness of their bodily sensations and supports the gradual release of held tension and activation in the nervous system.
EMDR: In EMDR sessions, clients focus on distressing memories while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation, typically through eye movements, sounds, or tactile sensations. This bilateral stimulation helps activate the brain's natural processing abilities, allowing traumatic memories to be reprocessed in a more adaptive and less distressing way. Through this process, negative beliefs and emotions can be resolved, and new, positive beliefs can be integrated.
