Somatic Trauma Therapy is a very effective way of working with the physical and emotional distress that trauma can cause. It works with the impact on the body of sudden or cumulative trauma, which can manifest through a range of physical and emotional symptoms, by bringing attention to the physical sensations of the body and using slow movements and verbal guidance to reduce levels of anxiety or fear.

It can be used by anyone working with individuals that display symptoms of trauma.
