Somatic Therapy

Somatic Therapy in Ontario (Body-Based Psychotherapy)

Sometimes talking about your experiences isn’t enough. You understand things logically — but your body still feels anxious, tense, or stuck. That’s where somatic therapy comes in.

​

What is somatic therapy?

Somatic therapy focuses on the connection between:

• Mind

• Body

• Nervous system

It helps you notice and work with how stress, trauma, and emotions are held in the body.

You might benefit if:

• You feel disconnected from your body

• You experience chronic tension or stress

• You’ve tried talk therapy but want something deeper

• You want to feel more grounded, present, and regulated

What sessions look like:

• Slowing down and noticing sensations

• Tracking nervous system responses

• Gently working with patterns in real time

• Building capacity for safety and regulation

What changes:

• You feel calmer without forcing it

• Your reactions soften

• You feel more present and connected

• Change happens at a deeper level
