Somatic Awareness Sojourns

Somatic Sojourns are skillfully guided trauma-sensitive somatic meditations that help cultivate a connection between body and mind, encouraging you to become more aware of your own physical sensations, emotions, and internal experiences. Guided somatic meditations can provide a safe space for individuals to explore and process past traumas, facilitating healing and integration. By focusing on bodily sensations, individuals may find it easier to release pent-up emotions and tension, leading to a feeling of emotional lightness and clarity. Engaging in these meditations can activate the body's relaxation response, helping to lower stress levels and promoting an overall sense of calm and tranquility.

What to expect during a Somatic Sojourn session?

Consultation and Assessment

Your therapist will start by chatting with you about your health history, any current issues you're experiencing, and your goals for the session. This helps them tailor the experience to your specific needs.

Mindful Body Connection

Throughout the session, your therapist will encourage you to tune into your body sensations. They might ask you questions like, "What do you feel in this area?" or "How does this movement affect your breath?" It's all about helping you become more aware of your body.

Hands-On Techniques

Your therapist will use a variety of gentle, hands-on techniques to help release tension and promote relaxation; these might include light touch, stretching, and gentle manipulation of your muscles and joints.

Body Awareness Integration

During the session, your therapist might guide you through some gentle movements or breathing exercises to help you integrate the work you’re doing.

Emotional Release and Relaxation

Don't be surprised if you experience some emotional release during your session. Somatic Sojourns can help unlock stored emotions in your body, leading to a sense of relief and relaxation. It's like effective massage techniques for migraine relief – sometimes, addressing physical tension can lead to emotional release too!

Follow-Up and Progress Tracking

Your therapist will likely check in with you after the session to see how you're feeling and discuss any changes you've noticed, and they might also provide some suggestions for self-care between sessions.
