Somatic Therapy
Exploring the Transformative Power of Somatic Therapy at Reset Brain and Body
What is Somatic Therapy?
Somatic therapy bridges the gap between mind and body healing. Unlike traditional talk therapy that stays "from the neck up," somatic therapy engages your body's wisdom to create deeper, more lasting change. Through gentle movements, conscious breathing, and body awareness techniques, this approach helps you access and release emotions and tension stored in your physical self. By involving both your body and mind in the healing process, somatic therapy offers a direct pathway to relief that you can actually feel.
The Science Behind Somatic Healing
Research in neuroscience confirms what you may already sense—your body holds your experiences. Studies show that stress, anxiety and trauma become physically stored in your body's tissues, creating tension patterns that talk therapy alone can't fully address. Somatic therapy works by helping you recognize and release these physical imprints through practices that restore your natural state of calm. Research demonstrates its effectiveness in reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other challenges by addressing their physical expressions, not just their mental components.
LET’S WORK TOGETHER
How You'll Experience Somatic Therapy
In sessions, you'll discover how to reconnect your awareness with your physical sensations, allowing you to identify and release stored tension and emotions that keep you stuck. Your therapist will guide you through accessible movements, breathing practices, and awareness exercises designed to help you notice what you're feeling in your body. By tuning into these sensations rather than just discussing your challenges, you'll gain insight into patterns that have been operating below conscious awareness, develop greater resilience to stress, and experience a renewed sense of being at home in your body.
Types of Somatic Healing at Reset
At Reset, we draw from several powerful somatic approaches, tailoring our methods to your unique needs and preferences:
Sensorimotor Therapy helps you track physical sensations to process trauma and emotions stored in your body. This gentle approach is particularly effective for addressing past experiences that feel "stuck" in your nervous system.
Mindful Movement incorporates yoga-informed practices that help you reconnect with your body while releasing tension patterns. These accessible movements create immediate relief while building your capacity for self-regulation.
Breathwork Techniques utilize your breath as a powerful tool for nervous system regulation. These practices help you shift from states of anxiety or shutdown into greater calm and presence.
Expressive Arts engage your body's natural creativity to express and process emotions that might be difficult to articulate in words alone. These approaches often create breakthroughs where traditional talking has reached its limits.
Body-Centered Mindfulness develops your ability to notice physical sensations with curiosity rather than judgment, creating space between automatic reactions and conscious responses.
Each of these approaches offers unique pathways to the same destination—a renewed sense of wholeness where your mind and body work together rather than against each other.
The Unique Benefits You’ll Notice
One of the most powerful aspects of somatic therapy is its ability to transform the root causes of your distress, where they actually live—in your physical experience. Unlike approaches focusing only on thoughts and insights, somatic therapy engages your body's natural capacity for healing. By addressing where tension and trauma are physically held, you'll experience a more complete sense of relief—many clients describe feeling physically lighter, more grounded, and more authentically themselves as emotional barriers lift.
