 | Somatics is a holistic modality that gives us tools to align our behaviors and our actions with our values. Somatics has three core components that we will utilize in our sessions together: somatic awareness, somatics practices, and somatic opening. All these components are practiced within a deep understanding of our social context. ***************************************************************************** As a survivor of violence and abuse and someone who is committed to bettering myself, I had done years of talk therapy without feeling like I got to the root of what was preventing me from being who I wanted to be and how I wanted to be in the world. Understanding or developing narratives about what had happened to me didn't actually lead to healing. On the very practical level, I am learning that healing trauma means accessing my body and sensations as sites of tremendous wisdom. Somatics provided me with deeply politicized possibilities for individual and systemic transformation and healing. I am excited to share this work with you. |
