Somatic Therapy Sessions
As human beings, we naturally crave physical connection. The act of physical touch -- such as exchanging a consensual hug with a loved one -- releases neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. These "happy chemicals" help regulate your mood to combat depression, anxiety, and stress.
Next time you're feeling down, try asking a friend or loved one for a hug! Or, if you are comfortable with it, you may wish to incorporate the use of gentle touch into your somatic therapy sessions. To learn more about the use of touch in therapy, visit lifebydesigntherapy.com.
