When trauma happens, it doesn't just live in our memories—it lives in our bodies. Somatic therapy offers a gentle, body-based approach to healing that focuses less on retelling traumatic stories and more on helping your nervous system release stored tension and activation. Through approaches like Somatic Experiencing (SE), developed by Dr. Peter Levine, clients learn to notice physical sensations and support their bodies in completing interrupted protective responses. This article explores how the body stores trauma, what somatic therapy involves, and what healing through this approach can look like. If you've been searching for a trauma therapy that honors your body's wisdom and moves at your nervous system's pace, somatic therapy might be the missing piece in your healing journey.
