Somatic Therapy in Chicago

Trauma-Informed Somatic Therapy in Chicago

We offer somatic therapy in Chicago to help individuals reconnect with their bodies and heal from anxiety, trauma, and chronic stress.

Reconnect with Your Body

Somatic therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on the mind-body connection, understanding how psychological issues manifest physically in the body. Somatic psychotherapy uses mindfulness, body awareness, breathing exercises, and body-based skills to guide the client.

How may somatic therapy be used in a therapy session?

    • Your therapist prompting you to tune into your body.
    • Experimenting with different body postures or movements to access and express underlying emotions.
    • Practicing breathwork, meditation, or guided imagery in session.
    • Integrating EMDR techniques into therapy sessions.
    • Utilizing grounding exercises to regulate the nervous system and address feelings of being overwhelmed.
    • Practicing gentle yoga poses to address specific concerns.
    • Exploring the sensations associated with specific emotions or memories.
    • Exploring the connection between physical symptoms (e.g., headaches, stomachaches) and underlying emotional states.

Online somatic therapy

At Embodied Wellness Center, our telehealth platform makes it easy for you to access transformative somatic therapy from the comfort of your own space. It helps to have a yoga mat, but a blanket or towel will also work. You may be asked to bring props to the session, which may include blocks, towels, blankets, or pillows. We will work with you based on your available resources.

You don't have to wait until the end of the day to take care of yourself.
Small moments matter, so if you spend your day in back-to-back meetings, staring at a screen, or constantly switching between tasks, try one of these quick nervous system resets:
-Progressive Muscle Relaxation
-Shake It Out
-A Quick Body Scan
Each one takes only a minute or two, but can help interrupt the buildup of stress before it turns into headaches, muscle tension, irritability, or burnout. Which one are you trying first?
.
Save this post for the next time your shoulders are up by your ears.

Stress doesn't just happen in our minds. It shows up in our bodies, too. By the end of the day, maybe your shoulders are creeping toward your ears, your jaw is clenched, or you're holding your breath without realizing it. That's because our bodies often continue carrying stress long after the stressful moment has passed.
The good news is that you don't always need a 30-minute meditation to feel better. Sometimes just one or two intentional minutes between meetings can help reset your nervous system and stop tension from building throughout the day.

Unlimited PTO usually means people take less time off. Don’t wait until you’re burned out—take rest in small, consistent doses.

There are tons of studies showing the benefits of mindfulness, ranging from lowered stress levels to improved sleep quality, improved ability to manage ADHD, improved ability to manage chronic pain, and so many more. This most recent study is one more piece of evidence that mindfulness can help improve anxiety.

Somewhere along the way, many of us learned that rest is something we have to earn. That only AFTER the project is done, the workweek is over, or the to-do list is complete we can finally allow ourselves rest.
.
You don't have to reach complete burnout or your breaking point before you slow down and rest. We all need rest no matter how much we have to do.
.
What would change if you gave yourself permission to slow down before you're completely depleted? Let us know in the comments.
