About Somatic Psychotherapy
Somatic Psychotherapy is a whole-person model that acknowledges the embodiment of mental, emotional, social and spiritual life. Understanding how challenges arising from developmental experience and from the demands of external reality are embodied is the goal of this approach.
Somatic Psychotherapy is an emerging field in psychology and psychotherapy. Its development marks the beginning of an era of the body in psychotherapy. Contemporary developmental research, cognitive psychology, traumatology and neuropsychology understand the body and embodied experience to be at the center of our psycho-emotional lives.
