Can Somatic Experiencing Be Done Online? Exploring the Benefits and Accessibility of Virtual Somatic Therapy
Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body-focused therapy that helps individuals process and release trauma by bringing attention to physical sensations and the body’s natural healing processes. Traditionally, SE is done in person, with the therapist guiding the client through gentle awareness of their bodily responses to trauma. But as the world increasingly moves online, you may wonder: Can Somatic Experiencing be done virtually? And, more importantly, Does it still work?
Understanding the Differences Between Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Somatic Therapy
Discover the Key Differences Between CBT and Somatic Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Somatic Therapy are two effective therapeutic approaches for addressing mental health issues, but they work in distinct ways. While CBT focuses on changing negative thought patterns to improve emotions and behaviors, Somatic Therapy targets the mind-body connection, using body awareness and movement to release trauma and stress. Learn about their unique philosophies, methods, and how they can help with anxiety, trauma, and emotional healing.
How Somatic Therapy Can Help Heal Trauma: A Personal Journey
Trauma doesn’t just live in the mind—it lives in the body. Every sensation, every tight muscle, every flutter of the stomach, and every aching joint can be a doorway into the story your body has been holding for you. Somatic therapy is a way of helping you hear that story, understand it, and ultimately, heal from it.
Braving the Wilderness - A Somatic Journey
When one embarks on this somatic journey, they are gifted with an embodied relationship to their Deepest Self and Wise Inner Knowing. From this place of innate wholeness, your fullest expression comes through in all you do.
What is Somatic Experiencing?
Somatic Experiencing (SE™) is a body-based approach to healing trauma, stress, and shock stored in the nervous system. Trauma isn't just about the event, but how it affects the body, often keeping us stuck in fight, flight, or freeze responses. SE helps release these stuck patterns, allowing the body to recover and build resilience.
