Somatic Therapy
What Is Somatic Therapy?
Healing Through the Body–Mind Connection
At Inspire Malibu, we understand that healing must address more than just thoughts and emotions—it must involve the body. That’s the foundation of Somatic Therapy: a holistic, integrative approach that connects the physical, emotional, mental, and even spiritual aspects of recovery.
Understanding Somatic Therapy
The term somatic comes from the Greek word soma, meaning “body.” Somatic Therapy involves tapping into the body’s natural healing processes to release stress, trauma, and tension. This therapy focuses on:
Mindful breathing
Physical awareness
Emotional processing
Gentle movement
Guided focus
Rather than treating emotional pain solely through conversation, Somatic Therapy helps clients become more aware of how emotions and trauma are stored in the body—and how to release them.
Why Somatic Therapy Works
No condition—whether it be anxiety, trauma, or addiction—can be fully treated without understanding how the body holds on to stress and experiences. Somatic Therapy acknowledges that emotional pain often manifests physically, and healing requires tuning into the body’s cues.
Some of the benefits include:
Reduced chronic stress and anxiety
Improved emotional regulation
Relief from trauma-related symptoms
Enhanced mind-body connection
Increased resilience and calm
A Professional, Proven Approach
At Inspire Malibu, we use only highly trained, licensed professionals to deliver Somatic Therapy. Our certified practitioners have specialized education and proven experience in trauma-informed care and mind-body healing techniques.
We believe that any condition worth treating is worth treating with excellence, and that includes integrating advanced therapies like Somatic Therapy when appropriate.
Is Somatic Therapy Right for You?
Somatic Therapy may be included as part of your individualized treatment plan—especially if you have experienced trauma or chronic stress or are struggling with unresolved emotional pain. Many of our clients find this approach to be a powerful complement to traditional talk therapy, medication-assisted treatment, and other evidence-based interventions.
Take the First Step Toward Mind-Body Healing
If you or a loved one is seeking a more comprehensive, whole-body approach to healing, Somatic Therapy may be the missing link. At Inspire Malibu, we’re committed to helping you heal not just from the outside in—but from the inside out.
