Treatment for Anxiety
Somatic therapy treats the root cause of anxiety, which is bound survival energy that has not been able to discharge.
We show you practices that support nervous system to achieve self-regulation. These practices allow anxious energy to release from your body, bringing you back to a restful, parasympathetic state. Over time, your nervous system learns to do this for itself and becomes self-regulating.
We help you to unburden the original traumas that live on in your hypersensitivity to threat. To do this, we need to meet and befriend the protective parts that over-react to threat. With more understanding and acceptance, these parts calm down and start to work together as a team.
We help you build a personalized tool-kit for managing your anxiety when it does show up again, so that you never have to worry about it ahead of time.
