Somatic Therapist in California
Somatic therapy is a form of psychotherapy that integrates the mind and body. Because chronic pain has mind and body components, somatic therapy is a promising solution for managing it in your everyday life.
That isn't to say that chronic pain is "all in your head." Your physical symptoms are very real -- but the way we think about and fixate on pain can actually worsen our experience with chronic pain as we move throughout life.
Somatic therapy can increase your tolerance for discomfort by teaching you to acknowledge and sit with your body's sensations, even when they are painful. By refraining from judgment of your body's sensations, you learn to no longer view them as good or bad, but to simply tolerate them, whatever they may be.
