Trauma doesn’t just live in your mind—it’s stored in your body. That’s why talk therapy alone often isn’t enough.

Somatic EMDR Therapy is a body-centered approach that helps you release trauma at its source, so you can finally feel safe, grounded, and free.

What is Somatic EMDR?

It’s a powerful blend of traditional EMDR and body-centered techniques.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is based on the idea that your brain has a natural ability to heal from trauma, just like your body heals from a cut.

When trauma happens, the memory can get "stuck" in your nervous system, along with the emotions, sensations, and beliefs tied to it. EMDR uses guided eye movements (or other bilateral stimulation) to help your brain reprocess these stuck memories. Over time, the memory becomes neutralized, so it no longer feels overwhelming or painful.

Somatic EMDR goes beyond traditional EMDR by incorporating added focus on the body. Trauma isn’t just in your mind—it’s stored as tension, tightness, or numbness. We help your body release what your mind can’t put into words.

The result? Your body and mind heal together, so you can move forward with clarity and calm.

What Does EMDR Target?

Somatic EMDR works directly with:

Traumatic memories that feel stuck or overwhelming

Negative core beliefs tied to those memories (e.g., “I’m not safe,” “I’m not enough”)

Physical sensations that trauma leaves behind (e.g., tension, numbness, or pain)

Distress and anxiety about the future (e.g., fear of repeating the past or feeling out of control)

Triggers that bring up intense emotions or reactions (e.g., certain sounds, smells, or situations)

By addressing these layers, Somatic EMDR helps your brain and body process trauma, so you can move forward with clarity and calm.

How it Works?

Activates your brain’s natural healing process

Neutralizes painful memories so they lose their emotional grip

Releases trauma stored in your body

Resets your nervous system

Breaks the cycle of fight-flight-freeze

Helps you feel safe and in control again

Whether you’re dealing with a single event or a lifetime of emotional wounds, Somatic EMDR meets you where you are.

Helping you access your body’s own capacity to heal and achieve deep, long-lasting change.
