Somatic Counseling
Understanding Somatic Counseling: AUM Integral Wellness Approach
Life can be overwhelming, and sometimes, our minds and bodies carry the weight of stress, trauma, and emotions in ways that we don’t even realize. If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or burdened by past experiences, you’re not alone. At AUM Integral Wellness, we understand that healing goes beyond just talking about what’s bothering you—it involves truly listening to your body, releasing tension, and restoring balance. That’s where somatic counseling comes in.
What is Somatic Counseling?
Somatic counseling is a holistic approach that connects the mind and body to help you heal. Unlike traditional talk counseling, which focuses mainly on thoughts and emotions, somatic healing counseling includes the body in the healing process. The word “somatic” comes from the Greek word “soma,” meaning body. Somatic counseling recognizes that your body holds onto stress, trauma, and emotions—sometimes long after your mind has moved on.
In our practice, somatic counseling is about tuning into your body’s sensations and signals, helping you release the physical tension that might be holding you back. This can be incredibly freeing, especially if you’ve felt like talking through your problems hasn’t been enough.
Why Somatic Counseling?
Have you ever noticed how your body reacts to stress? Maybe your shoulders tighten, your stomach churns, or you feel your heart race. These physical responses aren’t random—they’re your body’s way of telling you something. Somatic counseling helps you pay attention to these signals, understand what they mean, and gently release them.
Our bodies store emotions in ways that we may not always be conscious of. Over time, this can lead to chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and even a sense of disconnection from yourself. By working with both your mind and body, somatic counseling can help you reconnect with yourself on a deeper level, releasing trapped emotions and finding peace.
How Does Somatic Counseling Work?
At AUM Integral Wellness, our somatic healing counseling sessions are designed to be gentle and supportive. We create a safe space where you can explore your feelings and physical sensations without judgment.
During a session, you might engage in mindful breathing, body awareness exercises, or gentle movements. We’ll guide you in noticing where tension or discomfort lives in your body. Together, we’ll explore these sensations, understand their roots, and work towards releasing them.
Somatic release therapy isn’t about pushing you to relive trauma or dive into painful memories. Instead, it’s about empowering you to listen to your body and trust its wisdom. This approach can be particularly helpful if you’ve experienced trauma, as it allows healing to happen at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for you.
