Somatic Therapy in Austin
For clients whose anxiety, trauma, or grief lives in the body — not just the story.
Trauma and chronic stress don't only live in memory — they live in muscle tone, breath patterns, and a nervous system that's been on for too long. Somatic therapy uses body awareness to help the system finish what it couldn't finish before.
FAQ
Common questions
Is somatic therapy 'body work'?
It uses body awareness as a therapy tool — noticing sensation, breath, and movement — but there's no physical contact. You stay clothed and seated, same as talk therapy.
Do I need somatic therapy if I'm already doing IFS?
Not necessarily. IFS already engages the body. Somatic techniques are folded in where they help.
Can this help with anxiety I can't think my way out of?
Yes — that's exactly what somatic work is for. When the nervous system is stuck in 'on,' cognitive tools alone often aren't enough.
