March 2026 - Are you struggling with stress, anxiety, people-pleasing and emotion regulation? Do you feel like you’re not quite good enough, you can never actually reach your goals, or you just can’t seem to do “life” right?

Are you a highly sensitive, creative person who was the good student, the easy child who was mature beyond her years? As an adult, now you scan facial expressions to sense for hidden emotions (are they mad?) notice when a reply takes a bit longer than usual (do they hate me?), get a gut punch feeling when your boss sends a short email (am I getting fired?). Footsteps a bit too loud? What'd I do wrong? Did I leave a mess somewhere? You brain intellectually knows other people's emotions are their problem, but your body definitely missed the memo. People pleasing was how you learned to create safety, and it worked... until it didn't.

New March 2026 - Are you between 25-35 years old and find yourself grappling with the past, were raised by emotionally immature (or narcissistic) parents, struggle with setting boundaries, are in a codependent relationship, or feel responsible for the emotions of others while neglecting your own? Is your body constantly in fight, flight or freeze mode, and you can't seem to break the unhealthy patterns that keep you stuck? It's infuriating to intellectually know what to do and not be able to DO it (or stick to it).

It looks like you have it all together on the outside, but your mind is racing like a browser with 30 tabs open. Your inner critic is loud, nothing is ever “good enough” and life feels like an endless chore. You wonder if it’s ADHD, depression, burnout... You’ve tried the books, meditation, journaling, podcasts, walks, cleaning up your diet. Your nervous system is in fight-or flight, you know you need to "love yourself", but what does that even actually mean?.

How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
