This comprehensive guide aims to unlock the healing power of somatic emotional therapy.
What is Somatic Emotional Therapy? {#whatis}
"Emotions are our body's reactions to our thoughts." - Eckhart Tolle
Somatic Emotional Therapy connects your mind, body, and emotions to facilitate better mental health. It dances at the intersection of biology, psychology, trauma therapy, and mindfulness—a unique blend that treats the emotional trauma residing in our bodies due to past experiences.
Our bodies often 'store' emotional responses, which if not addressed, become the foundations of several deep-seated mental health issues. The goal of somatic emotional therapy is to release these stuck emotions and teach your body to healthily process future emotional responses.
Applications and Benefits of Somatic Emotional Therapy {#applications}
Somatic Emotional Therapy has a wide range of applications. It is used for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, stress, and much more. Here are some benefits of this therapy method:
- Release of stored trauma
