Somatic Theory
Somatic psychotherapy theories emphasize the interconnectedness of mind and body, viewing psychological distress not only as a mental experience but also one held and expressed physically. Rooted in approaches like Reichian therapy, Gestalt, sensorimotor psychotherapy, and polyvagal theory, these models suggest that unresolved trauma and emotions are stored in the nervous system and body.
Through body awareness, movement, breathwork, and regulation techniques, somatic psychotherapy helps clients process emotions, release tension, and restore a sense of safety, integration, and resilience.
Strength training improves the mind-body connection because it requires focused attention on breath, posture, and movement. Through intentional engagement of muscles, the brain builds stronger neural pathways that improve body awareness, coordination, and control.
The Mindful engagement not only enhances physical strength, it also promotes emotional resilience, stress reduction, and a deeper sense of connection between mental focus and physical presence.
Yoga strengthens the mind-body connection by combining movement, breath, and mindfulness. Through intentional poses and controlled breathing, you’ll learn to notice subtle sensations, release tension, and quiet the mind.
This awareness fosters balance, emotional regulation, and resilience, helping the body and mind work in harmony.
