What is the theory behind this Somatic therapy worksheet?
Somatic therapy is a therapeutic method that is used to treat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and other mental or emotional issues associated with the physical body. This method works by helping to release stress, distress and trauma from the body. Somatic therapy’s main focus is in inculcating body-related techniques and exercises for example: breathing exercises, dance related movements, writing exercises about body and meditation. It also includes standard psychotherapy conversations with a therapist.
