When we experience stress, trauma or emotional pain, our body remembers – even when our mind has moved on. Somatic therapy is a form of psychotherapy that recognises the profound connection between our bodily sensations and our psychological wellbeing. It offers a path to healing through embodied awareness (presence).
Our nervous system is the bridge between our body, heart, mind and soul. It connects our past traumas to our present-moment experience, so it’s an essential component of all inner work – healing, growth and awakening.
From resistance to release, suppression to expression – these powerful truths offer a path to emotional freedom through the wisdom of acceptance. Learn emotional maturity and develop self-acceptance.
How to feel safe: This process integrates mindfulness and body awareness to create a holistic experience of safety. The mind-body connection is bidirectional, which means when the body feels safe, the mind feel safe, and vice versa.
Emotional Release Technique: REM Release is a gentle, natural therapeutic process that helps dissolve emotional distress and trauma by combining mindful awareness with spontaneous eye movements, similar to those experienced during REM sleep.
Psychologist Tara Brach has developed a simple yet powerful mindfulness practice for emotional healing and self-compassion. It’s called RAIN, which is an acronym that stands for: Recognise, Allow, Investigate & Nurture.
