Somatic therapy is a body-centered approach that helps release the stress and trauma that can become trapped in the physical body. For survivors of sexual assault, reconnecting with the body in a safe, controlled, and gentle manner is a vital step toward healing. Traditional talk therapy is incredibly valuable, but incorporating somatic practices allows you to address the physical sensations, tension, and nervous system dysregulation that often persist after trauma.
Because trauma is experienced differently by everyone, a one-size-fits-all approach to somatic healing may not always feel safe or effective. Personalizing your somatic exercises allows you to move at your own pace, focusing only on the areas of the body that feel ready, and using language that feels comforting to you. Tailoring these sessions helps establish a sense of agency and safety, which are crucial for processing trauma.
