Somatic Trauma therapy acknowledges the fact that traumatic energy lives in our nervous system and in our bodies. When this traumatic energy gets stuck in the body, it affects our emotional lives. Because after all, our emotions are felt through our body. Our emotional life impacts our mind, and soon enough this traumatic energy is controlling our lives. 

Somatic trauma therapy operates mainly through awareness of the body, also known as interoception. As we enter our bodies and bring curiosity to our sensations, we allow the stuck traumatic energy to process itself and eventually exit our system, allowing us to relax back into a safe and comfortable space.
