Working with the body, not just the story
Somatic therapy recognizes that stress and trauma live in the body as well as the mind. Drawing on Somatic Experiencing, Antonio helps you notice sensations, build a sense of safety and gently release stuck survival responses, so your nervous system can return to balance.
Somatic therapy may help if you
- Feel stuck in fight, flight or freeze
- Experience anxiety you can feel physically
- Have trauma that’s hard to put into words
- Want an approach that goes beyond talk therapy
Somatic work pairs naturally with EMDR and, for some clients, with complementary care at the clinic such as craniosacral therapy or acupuncture.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to talk about my trauma in detail?
No. Somatic approaches can work without retelling every detail, at a pace you set.
Is this covered by insurance?
Sessions with a Registered Clinical Counsellor are covered by most extended health plans.
If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 9-8-8 (Suicide Crisis Helpline) or go to your nearest emergency department.
