Somatic Experiencing

Why don’t I feel better?

You feel connected to your emotions and can identify when you feel anxious, depressed, or resentful.

You’ve talked about them, analyzed them, and come to terms with them. Your mind understands why you feel as you do, and you’ve gained a new perspective on the issue.

But the problem remains. Despite everything you’ve done, you still don’t feel a sense of resolution.

You haven’t fully embodied your new understanding. Your mind thinks you should be over it, but your body doesn’t agree. Caught in the middle, you’re still struggling with those feelings.

Who has time for feelings?

You cope with logic to understand your struggles and talk yourself out of unwanted emotions. You’ve learned to turn them off and focus on other things – work, relationships, food – anything but a feeling.

Who has time for feelings?

Meanwhile, your body is communicating bigger and louder, screaming for your attention. Tension headaches. Stiff neck. Stomach aches.

Your body is talking to you. Are you listening?

The Mind-Body Connection

Our bodies store memories and emotions that manifest as sensations. By raising your awareness of your thoughts, emotions, and body sensations, you’ll realize how each affects the other.

By incorporating all three components in therapy, we can fully resolve your issues and foster healing.

Somatic Experiencing focuses on the bodily felt sense by guiding and releasing the trapped emotional energy through the body’s natural healing process.

Through this process, you’ll feel more connected to your feelings and body without becoming overwhelmed.

You deserve to feel connected and move past what’s keeping you stuck. Call me today to get started! (310) 567-4878
