Understanding Somatic Breathwork Therapy
Somatic Breathwork Therapy (referenced as 'somatic therapy' subsequently) is a holistic healing approach focused on integrating the mind and body. It considers the often-ignored dimensions of mental health - our physiological responses. By controlling our breathe, somatic therapy helps us harness our body's innate ability to self-regulate, manifest relaxation and promote healing.
Past Trauma and its Influence on Health
Trauma remains one of the most potent, heavily under-acknowledged factors that influence how we cope with stress and our overall mental health. It breeds emotional dysregulation which affects not just our mental state but manifests physically. Things as simple as our posture, attentiveness, and even learning ability can be impacted by past trauma.
"The body keeps the score. If the memory of trauma is encoded in the viscera, in heartbreaking and gut-wrenching emotions, in autoimmune disorders and skeletal/muscular problems, and if mind/brain/visceral communication is via the autonomic nervous system (ANS), we need to focus our therapeutic light on the viscera - Bessel van der Kolk"
