EMDR & Somatic Therapy for Women
At Somatic Women, we understand that life leaves lasting imprints. These imprints can stem from traumatic experiences—whether sudden, overwhelming events or the slow buildup of stress, disconnection, and unmet needs. Trauma often hides beneath the surface but can show up as anxiety, exhaustion, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck in life.
What Is EMDR & Somatic Therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy designed to help process distressing memories, reduce their emotional charge, and support healing.
Somatic therapy focuses on the mind-body connection, helping you notice and release physical sensations associated with stress, anxiety, and trauma.
Together, these approaches offer a comprehensive way to address both emotional and physical aspects of trauma.
