When I trained as a psychotherapist, I was taught to always “get the narrative.” My goal was to get my client talking about their trauma. The idea was that through talking (and more talking), they would eventually resolve it.  

But what I found was that many of my clients remained stuck, no matter how much they talked. Later, I learned that this is because trauma does not just exist in the mind — trauma also exists in the body. It takes a combined approach of talk therapy and body-centered modalities to treat the root cause.

Since integrating somatic techniques into my practice, I’ve seen my clients make faster and more complete transformations. 

Because I believe wholeheartedly in the role somatic techniques play in mental health, I now support other practitioners in adding these techniques to their practices.
