Integrating Somatic Therapy and EMDR Therapy

Designing Your Own Path to Mental Health

Healing Trauma Through the Mind Body Connection

What is Somatic Therapy?

Healing trauma requires addressing both the emotional and physiological impacts of past experiences.

  • Somatic Therapy helps regulate the nervous system, making EMDR processing more effective.

  • EMDR addresses cognitive and emotional trauma responses, while Somatic Therapy targets physical and somatic symptoms.

While EMDR reprocesses traumatic memories, Somatic Therapy helps release the trauma stored in the body, creating a holistic healing experience. This integrative approach is highly effective for individuals who experience chronic stress, dissociation, or physical manifestations of trauma.
