One of the ways in which these experiences can be addressed is through somatic therapy. In contrast to traditional talk therapy, somatic therapy focuses on healing the mind through the body.

The method concentrates on stabilizing the autonomic nervous system (ANS) which regulates heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, and digestion. Stress from trauma can shift the body into continuous fight or flight mode, with somatic therapy bringing it back into balance.

So, how does it work?

Practises should always be conducted by a trained therapist and may involve a variety of exercises. One is eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) in which traumatic memories are recalled while following the therapist’s finger from side to side to create new neurological connections. Other approaches include breathing exercises, massage, and performing physical movements like shaking and jumping.

At the end of the day, the purpose of somatic therapy is to get in better touch with your body and notice how it responds physically to traumatic experiences.

Many difficult feelings and emotions can arise during a therapy session, particularly if traumas have been explored, and they don’t just turn off as soon as a session ends. So, what can you do to re-center yourself after an intense encounter?

Put Pen to Paper

It can often feel like thoughts are all jumbled in your brain after therapy, so get them out onto paper. This can help you make sense of what is going on in your head, and sometimes makes things feel less overwhelming. It’s also a way to note any important tips or insights from the session that you would like to remember.

Re-Position Your Body

Tough emotions can, quite literally, get stuck in the body, so move around. Take a walk (no matter how short), do some dancing, or yoga, as exercises such as these can raise your levels of serotonin. If you feel as though you need some “grounding”, try lying down on the floor or under a weighted blanket. 

Routine Ritual

Develop a ritual that you can practise after every single therapy session. It can be something like grabbing a cup of coffee from your favorite café, or lighting a candle at the beginning of a session and blowing it out at the end.
