Trauma Release Therapy

trauma release therapyTrauma Release Therapy is a type of somatic (meaning of the body) therapy that focuses on easing the physical and emotional symptoms of trauma in daily life. Looking through the lens of the mind-body connection, we can notice how overwhelming emotions and intrusive thoughts and physical responses to traumatic experiences can become ‘trapped’ in the body.

Somatic therapy helps to release this pent-up tension and emotions.

Your therapist uses any combination of emotional regulation mindset coaching, body awareness, breathwork, EMDR and movement exercises to help you become more aware of bodily sensations and release stored emotions in a safe and supportive environment.

Here are just some of the goals our clients bring to these sessions:

  • Rewire the nervous system to rekindle a sense of safety in the body.
  • Reduce the intensity and frequency of triggers, flashbacks, and nightmares.
  • Safely shift traumatic memories to relieve worry and reduce intrusive thoughts.
  • Support insomnia, restore sleep and deep rest.
  • Restore a calm sense of softness in the body.
  • Rebalance gut health to reduce depressive symptoms.
  • Rekindle self-agency and acceptance to make space for processing loss and grief.
  • Deeply validate and release feelings of fear, loss, shame, and anger.
  • Reframe deep association with loss and grief to closure and repair.
  • Soothe and ground the nervous system and body into the present by attuning to the self.
  • Reconnect to self-compassion to reduce patterns of addiction and shame.
  • Transform feelings of sadness and grief into feelings of acceptance and hope.
