Somatic healing is crucial because it addresses the root of our suffering, specifically how trauma/generational trauma, overwhelm + stress become "stuck" in the body's nervous system, impeding overall health + wellbeing.
While traditional talk therapy focuses on thoughts + logic (top-down), somatic healing works from the body up (bottom-up), working directly with the innate healing wisdom of the body.
While the specific term "somatics" was coined in 1976 by theorist Thomas Hanna, the practice of healing through the body is one of humanity’s oldest traditions.
Many modern somatic therapies are essentially clinical "re-memberings" of ancient wisdom that never viewed the mind + body as separate.
If you've ever experienced a deeply healing somatic session, you would probably agree ... the medicine is wise + its always found within.
