Where Psychedelic Therapy Meets Somatic Therapy: Supporting the Nervous System in Non-Ordinary States of Consciousness

Somatic Psychedelic Therapy Nashville

What Is Somatic Psychedelic Therapy?

Somatic psychedelic therapy works at the intersection of psychedelic therapy and somatic therapy. Utilizing our over a decade of experience supporting people through nonordinary states of consciousness, we integrate our understanding of the nervous system, trauma, and emphasis on the body and bodily sensations as important aspects of the therapeutic process. This approach acknowledges the interconnectedness of mind and body and recognizes that emotional and psychological issues can be stored and manifested within the body. In somatic psychedelic therapy, individuals are encouraged to pay attention to bodily sensations, movements, and physical experiences that may arise during the psychedelic experience. We will guide you to explore and engage with these sensations, helping you to process and release stored emotions, trauma, or tension held in the body. This approach can involve techniques from somatic psychology, body centered psychotherapy, and mindfulness practices.

Somatic Psychedelic Therapy FAQs

  • Somatic psychedelic therapy differs from traditional psychedelic therapy by placing a greater emphasis on the body. While both approaches use psychedelics to facilitate healing, somatic therapy incorporates techniques from somatic psychology and body centered therapy to address physical manifestations of trauma and emotions.

  • Somatic psychedelic therapy can be beneficial for a range of conditions, including trauma related disorders, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and somatic experiencing issues. It's particularly useful for individuals who believe that their emotional issues are intertwined with physical sensations.
