Somatic therapy helps us reconnect with our essential being. It takes the emphasis off our minds and moves us into a richer, more organic, field of knowing: our bodies. Our bodies were our original home, before social conditioning taught us to look outwards or ‘use our head.’ As babies (like my anesthetized daughter), we instinctively yearned for regulation through breath, touch, and presence. Reclaiming that connection is how we return to ourselves.
