Somatic Therapy NYC


Treat Your Trauma or PTSD with Somatic Therapy
Somatic Therapy offers a powerful, holistic approach that taps into the bodyโs innate wisdom to promote deep emotional healing and resilience. Unlike traditional talk therapy, somatic therapy works with both mind and body to help release tension, process trauma, and restore a sense of calm from within
For those grappling with trauma or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), somatic therapy offers a groundbreaking path to healing that goes beyond conventional methods. Trauma can get โstuckโ in the body, leading to physical symptoms like chronic pain, muscle tension, or even digestive issues. Somatic therapy is designed to help you tune into your bodyโs signals, allowing you to release trapped emotions in a safe, supportive environment.

What Are the Common Types of Somatic Therapy?
If you want to understand and shift deep-seated beliefs that impact the patterns in relationships, self-image, or behavior, Hakomi Therapy could be a great choice. It uses mindfulness techniques to explore connections between mind (your thoughts and emotions) and body, making it ideal for self-esteem issues, relationship struggles, and personal growth.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Gestalt Therapy
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
This modality is a particularly effective approach for trauma or PTSD. Focusing on your physical responses to trauma, it uses physical sensations and movements to safely process painful memories and manage the effects of trauma. It’s especially useful if you’ve experienced complex trauma or have physical reactions to emotional triggers, like dissociation or hypervigilance.
Somatic Experiencing (SE)
Somatic Experiencing is designed to release chronic stress, anxiety, or the effects of trauma stored in the body. It helps reset your body’s stress response, making it useful for trauma, insomnia, muscle tension, and fatigue. This gentle approach is also suitable if you’re hesitant about confronting trauma directly.
Bioenergetic Analysis
If you feel emotionally “stuck” or find self-expression challenging, Bioenergetic Analysis might be the answer. Combining psychotherapy with physical exercises, this approach releases stored energy and can ease chronic physical tension, suppressed emotions, and self-expression issues.
What Issues Can Be Successfully Treated with Somatic Therapy?
Somatic therapy is a deeply versatile and holistic approach that goes beyond trauma treatment, offering transformative support for a wide range of emotional, psychological, physical, and even spiritual challenges. While Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is often the standard approach for many mental health issues, somatic therapy provides an equally powerful, body-centered alternative, particularly for those who feel their struggles are deeply embedded in both mind and body.
Somatic intervention has shown positive outcomes for those experiencing:
Cultivate somatic awareness that can help alleviate feelings of heaviness and fatigue as well as other mood disorders.
Chronic Pain:
Reduce physical discomfort linked to emotional stress and stored tension.
Grief:
Gently process and release emotional pain held in the body.
Recovery from Abusive Relationships and Other Relationship Issues:
Rebuild trust in yourself and your body after difficult experiences.
