Sensorimotor Psychotherapy

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy

“Owning our story can be hard but nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on live and belonging and joy – the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”

— Brene Brown

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a holistic therapeutic approach that bridges the gap between the mind and body to address the impacts of trauma, attachment issues, and emotional challenges. It operates on the understanding that the body holds onto trauma and stress, often manifesting through physical sensations, posture, and movement patterns. By integrating body awareness into traditional talk therapy, clients can identify and process these somatic experiences, fostering deeper self-awareness and emotional resilience. This approach empowers individuals to release trauma stored in the body, paving the way for lasting healing and personal growth.

Unlike traditional therapies that focus solely on cognitive and emotional processes, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy acknowledges the body’s role in shaping our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through techniques such as mindfulness, movement exploration, and somatic tracking, clients can access and resolve deeply rooted patterns that words alone may not reach. This therapy is especially effective for those who have experienced trauma or feel disconnected from their bodies, offering a safe, non-judgmental space to reclaim a sense of safety and balance.
