San Juan Somatic Therapy

Imagine being aware of a glowing and energetic feeling in your chest. With the safety and guidance of your therapist, you tune in with it to find a powerful message that you can overcome this hurdle you are facing, and with it comes a new insight on how to do that. Somatic Therapy uses mindfulness and directing our attention to bring awareness to sensations in the body that hold wisdom that we wouldn't get through thinking or talking about an issue alone. It’s an integrative approach to psychotherapy that incorporates both traditional talk therapy and techniques designed to increase the connection between the mind and body. It places a strong emphasis on mindfulness and the connection between physical sensations and emotions. The overall aim of somatic therapy is to help individuals lead more fulfilling and balanced lives by addressing and resolving the physical and emotional burdens they carry.
