Somatic
Therapy
Accessing the healing wisdom of the body
A Gift
I have multiple sclerosis. For me, that means every day I wake up with pain and fatigue. This simple practice shifts my morning immediately. Please join me!
What is Somatic Experiencing™?
Somatic therapies connect the mind and body. We store stress and the symptoms of depression and anxiety in our nervous system. During our sessions, we'll practice "somatic literacy" or learn the ways our body wisdom provides mental, physical, and spiritual ease to those who have survived trauma.
Types of somatic therapy include Somatic Experiencing™, the Hakomi Method, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).
Here's an article from the NYT about Somatic Experiencing™

About Dr. Elyne
Elyne Selu, PhD, a somatic therapist, author, and teacher, combines neuropsychology, Jungian psychology, and dance therapy with ancient medicine practices.
Dr. Elyne's journey with multiple sclerosis led her to find ways to listen more closely to her body. By doing so, she was able to heal long held patterns and trauma from her system.
Her research into chronic illness and trauma showed that those who develop a more loving and attuned relationship with their bodies and symptoms discovered physical ease, clear thinking, and an authentic sense of self.

Here is a link to a journal article by Dr. Elyne about her research into multiple sclerosis and Authentic Movement.
