Online therapy in california

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or “stuck” in old patterns you can’t quite name—your body might be trying to talk to you.
Maybe you’ve tried talk therapy before and found it helpful, but something still lingers. The tightness in your chest. The racing thoughts. The constant need to stay busy or numb out. These aren’t just in your head—they’re signs your nervous system might be stuck in survival mode.

Let’s talk about how somatic therapy can help you reconnect with your body, gently heal trauma, and finally feel safe inside yourself again.

First, What Is the Nervous System—and Why Does It Matter?

Think of your nervous system as your body’s internal alarm system. It’s always scanning for safety or danger, deciding whether you should relax, run, freeze, or shut down.

It has two main “modes”:

Sympathetic Nervous System (Fight or Flight): This is your go-go-go mode. It’s activated when you feel stressed, anxious, or threatened.
Parasympathetic Nervous System (Rest & Digest): This is your calm-down mode. It helps you relax, sleep, and recover.

When you’ve experienced chronic stress, childhood trauma, or intense life events, your nervous system can get stuck in high alert. Even when the danger has passed, your body still acts like it’s under threat.

This can lead to symptoms like:

Constant anxiety or panic attacks
Trouble sleeping or relaxing
Feeling “on edge” or emotionally numb
Physical symptoms (tight shoulders, gut issues, fatigue)

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not broken. Your body is doing exactly what it learned to do to keep you safe. But healing is possible—and it doesn’t have to be all in your head.

So, What Is Somatic Therapy?

Somatic therapy is a gentle, body-based approach to healing. It helps you become more aware of what’s happening inside your body—and work with it instead of against it.

Rather than diving deep into stories or analyzing everything, somatic therapy focuses on:

How you breathe
How your body responds to stress
The sensations, tension, or numbness you feel
Supporting your nervous system in real-time

It’s perfect for folks who’ve tried traditional therapy but still feel stuck in physical symptoms or emotional overwhelm.

🌟 You don’t need to relive your trauma to heal it—you just need a safe space to feel, release, and reconnect with your body.

Triggers → Nervous system response → Physical/emotional symptoms
Somatic therapy can guide the system back to regulation

What Happens in a Somatic Therapy Session?

Online or in person, a somatic therapy session is led at your pace. There’s no pressure to “perform” or say the right thing. It’s about slowing down and listening inward.

You might:

Notice how your body responds to certain emotions
Practice grounding or breathwork exercises
Explore small movements that help release tension
Learn to recognize when your nervous system is activated—and how to support it

Many clients say they leave sessions feeling more present, calm, and in control of their bodies again.
