Vector flat illustration.Today, most people recognize that there is some connection between their minds and their bodies. The field offocuses on the feedback loop connecting mind and body, and the ways that one constantly informs the other.
Somatic therapists are attuned to physical sensations as talk therapists are attuned to thoughts and feelings. The holistic integration of body awareness with traditional psychotherapy was initially used to treat PTSD by focusing on the body’s sensations, rather than on reliving a traumatic event.
The ability to feel safe with others is central to a meaningful life, but that basic comfort can be elusive. Trauma expert Bessel van der Kolk, M.D., in his book, explores the fact that trauma leaves an indelible imprint on the body as well as the mind. After a traumatic experience, the brain recalibrates the body’s early warning system in self-defense. Trauma survivors are generally hypervigilant, constantly scanning their environment for danger. So, even when the mind blocks or distorts distressing memories, as it usually does, the body remembers the threat exactly as it was experienced. When old fears are triggered, the body shifts into survival mode, derailing normal functioning.
