Somatic Healing vs. Traditional Talk Therapy: Why Your Body Holds the Key

April 02, 20251 min read

For decades, talk therapy has been the go-to for emotional healing. But what if the body holds the answers that words alone can't reach? While therapy helps us process thoughts and emotions, somatic healing addresses the physiological imprints of stress and trauma that talking alone can't shift.

Somatic work engages the nervous system directly, working with breath, movement, and sensation to release stored tension and restore a sense of safety in the body. And truthfully, it’s not about choosing one approach over the other—rather, it's about recognising that deep transformation happens when we work with both mind and body together.

Your Calm Compass Coaching weaves together somatic work, NLP, and hypnotherapy to help you break free from old patterns and reconnect with yourself. Find out more https://www.yogahealthandwellness.co.uk/
