How Somatic Therapy Helps PTSD
As a specialist PTSD therapist with a Masters in Sport & Exercise Psychology, I use somatic therapy to support your journey. Somatic therapy addresses trauma through the body, using mind-body techniques to calm the nervous system. This approach helps reduce involuntary 'survival' responses and supports trauma recovery without forcing you to relive painful memories. Sessions focus on building resilience and practical self-regulation skills.
I help you experience fewer flashbacks and intrusive memories, achieve a greater sense of calm and control, and enjoy improved sleep quality. You'll find yourself less anxious or hypervigilant, emotionally more resilient, with a better regulated nervous system. Over time, many clients report renewed confidence and a noticeable improvement in day-to-day wellbeing.
