1. Exploring The Concept of Somático Trauma
Often overlooked, the impact of trauma on the body – 'somático' trauma – is an important aspect of mental health that demands attention. The term 'somático' originates from 'somatic,' referring to the body. A somatic trauma-informed approach goes beyond understanding trauma at a mental and emotional level; it acknowledges the physical imprint of trauma, helping both mental health seekers and practitioners navigate the healing process more effectively.
2. Decoding the Somatic Trauma-Informed Approach
Somatic trauma-informed therapy looks to the body for signs of unresolved trauma. This approach recognizes how stress and trauma responses are deeply ingrained in our nervous systems and physical bodies. Hence, somatic interventions often include mindfulness, deep breathing, grounding exercises, yoga, and therapeutic touch.
3. Benefits of Somatic Trauma-Informed Training
This training offers a host of benefits to practitioners of various disciplines, mental health seekers, abuse survivors, and even educators. By understanding how trauma embeds itself in the physical body, this training can provide impactful, empathic, and holistic interventions that reach far beyond conventional talk therapy.
