Somatic Therapy Defined
Somatic, derived from the Greek
word
soma
, means the living
body in its wholeness. We are more than just muscles and bones.
Research shows us that our mind and emotions affect our
bodies. We also know that the relative health or “dis-ease” of our
body affects our mind and emotions. For example, we all know that
if we are under stress, it is easier for us to catch a cold. It is also true
that people with chronic pain may feel depressed.
In Somatic
Therapy, the focus is on
the whole person: body,
mind, emotions and spirit. As we become more aware of how these
things are interrelated, we can begin to work with them. Through this
process, we can achieve optimal health and develop our full
potential.
