Somatic Therapy in Chicago

Trauma-Informed Somatic Therapy in Chicago

We offer somatic therapy in Chicago to help individuals reconnect with their bodies and heal from anxiety, trauma, and chronic stress.

Reconnect with Your Body

Somatic therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on the mind-body connection, understanding how psychological issues manifest physically in the body. Somatic psychotherapy uses mindfulness, body awareness, breathing exercises, and body-based skills to guide the client.

How may somatic therapy be used in a therapy session?

    • Your therapist prompting you to tune into your body.
    • Experimenting with different body postures or movements to access and express underlying emotions.
    • Practicing breathwork, meditation, or guided imagery in session.
    • Integrating EMDR techniques into therapy sessions.
    • Utilizing grounding exercises to regulate the nervous system and address feelings of being overwhelmed.
    • Practicing gentle yoga poses to address specific concerns.
    • Exploring the sensations associated with specific emotions or memories.
    • Exploring the connection between physical symptoms (e.g., headaches, stomachaches) and underlying emotional states.

Online somatic therapy

At Embodied Wellness Center, our telehealth platform makes it easy for you to access transformative somatic therapy from the comfort of your own space. It helps to have a yoga mat, but a blanket or towel will also work. You may be asked to bring props to the session, which may include blocks, towels, blankets, or pillows. We will work with you based on your available resources.

If you’ve ever struggled to journal while your heart was racing, or meditate while your thoughts felt out of control, you’re not alone. Many people walk away from these experiences believing coping skills “don’t work” or that they’re doing something wrong. More often than not, the issue isn’t the coping skill itself. It’s when and how it’s being used.
.
Our newest blog posts highlights which coping skills to use based on how you're feeling. Link in bio.

Anxiety has a way of making everything feel urgent, catastrophic, and personal. Instead of trying to “get rid of it,” try getting curious about it. When you slow your thoughts down into questions, you shift from reacting to responding. You move from spiraling to problem-solving. From fear to perspective.
.
Save this for the next time your mind starts racing.
