Best Somatic Therapy Near Me

 


I know what it’s like to live with anxiety, when your body feels tense for no clear reason, your thoughts won’t stop circling, or sleep feels out of reach. For me, it takes me back to college finals week, running on little sleep, jittery from caffeine, and constantly on edge. My body was stuck in fight-or-flight, and no amount of “don’t worry so much” could make it stop.

That’s the thing about anxiety: if calming down were that simple, you would’ve done it already.
That’s why I’ve learned to turn to practices that meet anxiety where it actually lives…in the body.

🌿 6 Natural Ways to Relieve Anxiety

  1. Grounding to Regulate Your Body – Anchor yourself in the present with sensory awareness (what you see, touch, hear, smell, and taste).

  2. Breathing to Help Your Body Settle – Slow inhales and longer exhales signal safety to your nervous system.

  3. Moving Gently to Release Tension – Stretch, walk, or shake out tension so it doesn’t stay trapped in your muscles.

  4. Journaling to Clear Mental Loops – Break mental loops by putting thoughts on paper.

  5. Establishing a Routine in Your Day for Nervous System Balance – Steady rhythms like meals, rest, and movement help your nervous system find balance.

  6. Spending Time in Nature to Restore a Sense of Calm – Even a few minutes outside can help your body soften and breathe more deeply.

These aren’t quick fixes, but gentle reminders to your nervous system that safety exists. Over time, small practices like these add up, and they can change the way anxiety feels in your body.

LGBT Therapy in Richmond

LGBT Pride Month, observed in June, is celebrated around the U.S. with parades and activism events. At the same time, many people do not know Pride Month’s origin, which honors the 1969 Stonewall riots — a demonstration which blazed the trail for activists across the country. In 1970, the first Gay Pride marches took place in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. There has been a lot of progress since then, but LGBT advocates are still working toward a future without discrimination in the workplace and beyond. Here are some powerful quotes from changemakers who are have contributed to the movement for LGBT equality: “Openness may not completely disarm prejudice, but it’s a good place to start.” — Jason Collins, first openly gay athlete in U.S. pro sports “When all Americans are treated as equal, no matter who they are or whom they love, we are all more free.” — Barack Obama If you need support, contact us today for therapy in   Berkeley and Richmond www.lifebyde...
