Foundations of Somatic Therapy: The 9 Key Techniques for Effective Body-Based Therapy

Trauma is stored in the body, often beyond the reach of talk therapy.

While the thought of by-passing “talk therapy” can seem extreme to some therapists, the fact is somatic techniques have been proven to get results treating PTSD, depression, addiction, chronic pain, anxiety, dissociation, intense emotions and more.

…sometimes in as little as one session!

Here’s your chance to get a front-row seat to witness step-by-step somatic healing.
