Somatic

Somatic (from the Greek word 'somat', meaning body) psychotherapy bridges the mind-body dichotomy recognizing that emotion, behavior, sensation, impulse, energy, action, gesture, meaning and language all originate in physical experiences. A somatic approach can be effective by examining how past traumatic experiences cause physical symptoms which in turn affect emotion regulation, cognition and daily functioning.
