Somatic Based Therapy 

Unifying Body and Mind for Deep Healing

At Brighter Sky Counseling, we believe in the profound interconnectedness of the body and mind. Recognizing that trauma not only affects your mental state but also manifests physically, we offer and integrate somatic based therapy to address and heal the full spectrum of trauma responses.

Understanding Somatic Experiencing Therapy

Somatic therapy is a holistic approach that activates your mental, emotional, and physical faculties. It’s a healing space that fosters open dialogue about mental health and encourages physical movement, awareness and sensations to facilitate your healing process. Our therapists guide you through exercises designed to restore tranquility and balance and deep insights. 

• Mindful Meditation and Breathing: Harness the power of breath to calm the mind and body.
• Therapeutic Movement: Whether it's through dancing or walking, engage your body to release emotional blockages.
• Targeted Self Touch: Address physical tension directly correlated to emotional stress.
• Visualization Techniques: Create mental images that soothe and reset the nervous system.
• Grounding Practices: Reconnect with the present moment and your physical existence.
