North Sydney Therapy:Understanding Somatic Therapy: Healing Through the Body

Somatic therapy is a body-based approach that focuses on the felt sense of emotions, trauma, and stress held in the nervous system. Rather than simply talking about what happened, somatic therapy invites you to experience and process what’s happening in the body, here and now.

Why Somatic Therapy Matters

• Trauma often lives in the body, not just the mind

• Nervous system regulation is foundational for emotional healing

• Embodied awareness creates space for real-time change

Somatic Therapy in Couples Work

Many couples experience disconnection not because of lack of love, but because of nervous system dysregulation. Somatic tools can help partners:

• Recognize when they’re in fight, flight, or freeze

• Create safety through touch, breath, and tone

• Repair conflict by tuning into physical cues, not just words
