What is Somatic Therapy?
Somatic therapy is a form of body-centred therapy that looks at the connection of mind and body. It integrates both talk therapy and physical therapy for holistic healing. I have included a somatic model into my practice.
TARA Somatic Medicine
|
TARA combines sensitive language - already a characteristic of my counselling approach - with the ancient medicine practice of JinShin.
Stephanie Mines, creator of this powerful somatic healing modality, JinShinTARA identifies it as the most effective way to treat shock and trauma. While the impacts of trauma are often very apparent, shock can permeate the system in more subtle ways, such as: feeling odd, nervousness and discomfort. But like trauma, it can also have long lasting effects. |
The TARA approach is unique in providing applications for the resolution of both trauma and shock, that can balance and calm the nervous system.
I offer a ‘bottom up’ treatment which is increasingly indicated for those experiencing the long lasting physiological impacts of shock and trauma.
What Can You Expect?
Talking therapy sometimes can’t provide the soothing necessary for the overloaded peripheral nervous system. Energy medicine and trauma sensitive language can create calm and help you differentiate the past and present.
For a full TARA session, clients can expect to lie on a massage table, fully clothed, while different energy points on the body are released with gentle touch.
