Leanne's VERY Quick Guide to Somatic Therapy
I'm back again!
What the heck is Somatic Therapy Leanne I thought you were a cookbook author?
Yes, yes indeed. I am both! My career as a cookbook author showed me my passion for nourishing the body and mind and my interest evolved into this Somatic Therapy practice.
Who is Somatic Therapy For?
Everyone, but particularly those who struggle with anxiety, depression and trauma.
Most of us grow up feeling that our emotions are annoying, inconvenient or even downright horrible. We are taught to hang onto our emotions and not express them. This leads to a buildup of emotion in the body that can be experienced as a busy, worried or even tortured mind, and tight, painful body full of tension and stress. For example, every time we have a mean though the body may register that as a sensation of being punched in the gut.
But the good news is that this is not how emotions are supposed to work! We must simply understand how to release and use our emotions effectively. Emotions are feelings in the body, of warmth in the chest, tightness in the stomach, tingling in the hands. They are meant to be our guides to how we truly feel so we can make choices in our best interest. They represent profound intelligence.
In somatic therapy we learn to allow our feelings to move through us and guide us, instead of tensing against them and holding onto them.
Will this help my anxiety?
YES!!
Is it hard?
NO!!
Some very real benefits:
You feel like yourself again
Your life begins to feel fresh and you notice positive changes

Okay well that was fun, good talk everyone!
