A holistic approach to trauma defines trauma not as an event, but rather as a disruption and overwhelm to our body-mind’s capacity to adapt, thrive, and flourish.
Trauma can occur when:
* There is too much too soon
* There is too much for too long
* There is not enough for too long
* Power and agency have been taken away from the person or collective
* The stressors outweigh the resources available to navigate them
* When our primal protective instincts, intuitions, and responses are thwarted
* There is not enough time, space, or permission to heal
What is trauma?
Why are we talking about the body?
'Soma,' meaning 'the living body known from within,' underscores our approach, focusing on experiencing wholeness through mind-body integration. Trauma can create a disconnect, leaving us feeling alienated from our own bodies. Somatic work acts as a powerful path to healing, leveraging the deep connection between body and mind.
Through somatic techniques, you'll learn to sense and regulate your physiology, cultivating internal resources and compassionate self-awareness. This journey invites you into a deeper relationship with your body, offering time and space to unwind trauma and restore well-being, guiding you from disconnection to a state of integrated healing.
