What is Somatic Therapy

Whether you're new to somatic approaches or a seasoned practitioner, this book will transform your therapeutic practice.
The impact of a traumatic event extends beyond the mind. Trauma can also show up in the body, leading to chronic pain, fatigue, and even feelings of depression. Somatic psychology is a holistic therapy that explores the mind-body connection, aiding in the release of stored tension and facilitating genuine healing from past trauma.

Drawing on over two decades of clinical experience, Peace J. Williams, has crafted the essential resource for mental health therapists looking to integrate somatic techniques into their daily work. Somatic psychotherapy, highly effective for clients dealing with trauma and stress disorders, is the future of holistic healing—addressing both body and mind.
This comprehensive guide walks you through:

• Targeted somatic interventions for trauma, stress, and PTSD
• Steps to seamlessly incorporate the body into existing therapeutic approaches
• Mindfulness techniques and breathwork for deeper client connection
• Essential guidelines for safety, success, and self-awareness as a practitioner
• Journal exercises
• Body-centered prompts for personal inquiry
• Movement exercises
• Real-life experiments

You, my dear readers, will gain a fresh ability to understand and embrace their emotions, along with insights into living a life that is deeply connected to and aware of the body through somatic practices.
