sensorimotor psychotherapy
Sensorimotor psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach that integrates body awareness and movement with traditional talk therapy. It focuses on the connection between the mind and body, helping individuals process trauma and emotional distress through physical sensations and experiences. This method is particularly effective for those who have experienced trauma, as it allows them to access and release stored emotions in a safe environment.
The therapy involves techniques such as mindfulness, movement, and somatic awareness to help clients reconnect with their bodies. By exploring physical sensations and movements, individuals can gain insights into their emotional states and develop healthier coping mechanisms. This approach is often used in conjunction with other therapeutic modalities to enhance overall healing.
