Feeling Trapped in Your Own Body? Let's Change That.

Trauma doesn't just linger in your thoughts—it takes root in your body. It shows up as tension in your muscles, unease in your chest, or a constant sense of being on edge. But what if healing could begin by reconnecting with your body, releasing that tension, and finding peace again? At Soulera Counseling, our somatic therapy services in Houston help you do just that.

What is Somatic Therapy?

Somatic therapy is a body-centered approach to healing trauma, anxiety, and emotional pain. It goes beyond traditional talk therapy by tapping into the body’s own wisdom, using therapies like somatic experiencing and sensorimotor psychotherapy to help release trauma stored deep within the body. We work with you to restore balance, helping you feel more grounded, present, and in control.

Key Somatic Therapy Techniques:

Somatic Experiencing Therapy

Helps resolve trauma by completing the body’s natural stress response. This technique encourages the body to release the tension and energy held from past traumatic experiences.

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy

Focuses on how trauma affects posture and movement. Clients explore the physical sensations connected to traumatic memories, allowing them to process and release trauma from the body.

Hakomi Method

Uses mindfulness and gentle touch to help clients uncover unconscious patterns stored in the body. This process facilitates deep emotional healing.

Why Somatic Therapy?

Trauma doesn’t just reside in the mind—it often manifests in physical sensations like tension, pain, or disconnection. Our somatic therapy services in Houston provide clients with tools to:

  • Release Stored Trauma: Somatic therapy helps you release physical tension and emotional trauma held within your body.
  • Reconnect with Your Body: Trauma can cause a sense of detachment from your body. Somatic therapy allows you to rebuild that connection, helping you feel more grounded and in control.
  • Reduce Anxiety and Stress: Through techniques that focus on body awareness and mindful movement, clients experience relief from the physical symptoms of anxiety and stress.
  • Build Emotional Resilience: By learning to listen to your body’s signals, you can manage emotional triggers more effectively, improving your ability to handle future challenges.

What to Expect in a Somatic Therapy Session

Each somatic therapy session at Soulera Counseling is personalized to meet your specific needs. Sessions may involve guided body awareness, mindfulness practices, or movement-based techniques to help you reconnect with your body and release stored trauma. Our Houston-based somatic therapists are committed to creating a safe, supportive environment, allowing you to heal at your own pace.

Who Benefits from Somatic Therapy?

Somatic therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals who:

  • Have experienced trauma, PTSD, or anxiety
  • Feel disconnected from their bodies
  • Experience chronic stress, tension, or physical pain related to emotional struggles
  • Are seeking a body-based approach after feeling stuck in traditional talk therapy
