Somatic Sessions
”Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
- Carl Jung
What the heck does “somatic” even mean?
The root word SOMA = body. The word ‘somatic’ means relating to the body's cells, tissues, and organs.
Like a tape recorder, our body holds and expresses experiences and emotions. Traumatic and/or unresolved emotional experiences can become 'trapped' and stored inside the body without us having a conscious awareness of it.
The good news is, you have the ability to connect with these unconscious aspects by making them conscious. Then, you can choose to ‘rewind the tape’ so to speak (rewire your neural pathways) and create a new pathway that allows for new possibilities to be recorded.
What is a ‘Somatic Session’ and why would I want one?
In these sessions, the body is the starting point in your return to wholeness. We will start by cultivating an awareness of bodily sensations, establishing a felt sense of safety in your body and then explore thoughts, emotions, and memories.
You will learn various mind-body techniques to release pent-up emotions and cultivate more access to presence and eros (your life force energy), which will in turn allow you to experience more pleasure (in all areas of your life), increased creative potential, and reclaim your wholeness to be able to live out who you came here to be.
Who Could Benefit from a Somatic Session?
YOU! That’s right, if you are here and have read this far, it is likely you would benefit from a somatic session.
If you are ready to choose yourself and show up for yourself, you will benefit. Oftentimes, the “magic” happens after the session as you continue your commitment to yourself. What you put in, you will get out.
Folks who have done years of talk therapy but feel “stuck” find that accessing their body can be a powerful gateway to move through the “stuckness” and return to wholeness in a way they did not think or know was possible.
Somatic Sessions Might Not be for You If…
If you aren’t ready to commit to showing up for yourself
If you are still making excuses for why you can’t show up for yourself
If you are comfortable with a mundane existence in the rat race
If you have experienced a recent significant traumatic event or have a history of significant traumatic event(s) that you have not processed (ie. with a registered counsellor or therapist) that would likely be a more suitable option for you at this time.
If you have a significant untreated mental health diagnosis or if your mental health is currently unstable, you also may first benefit from working with a registered counsellor or therapist.
Saying that, it is possible for somatic session work to occur alongside traditional counselling and therapy as well if you are feeling stable and ready to dive into both realms.
If you are unsure if this would be a good fit for you, schedule a 15-minute exploration call with me.
