Скачать или смотреть What is Somatic Therapy? An Introduction to Somatic Psychotherapy

What is somatic therapy, and how can it help?

In this video, I explain what somatic therapy is and guide you through a short exercise so you can try it for yourself. Somatic therapy recognises that our body and mind are closely connected. It helps you pay attention to what’s happening in your body - your breathing, tension, numbness, or calmness, and encourages you to respond with kindness.

I practice somatic psychotherapy, which combines talking about how you feel with body awareness. This process creates a safe and professional space to explore unconscious patterns, heal from past experiences, and develop new ways of responding in the present.

✨ In this video, you’ll learn:
What makes somatic therapy different from other therapies
Why the body is so important in healing
How safety and regulation in the nervous system support recovery
A short guided practice to help you connect with your body gently

Whether you’re curious about therapy, considering support, or simply interested in the mind-body connection, this video offers a clear and compassionate introduction to somatic psychotherapy and how our mind and body are connected.
