Somatic Practices
Learn to regulate and return to safety, when you are in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn by using body-focused practices.
Somatic Practices are great for:
Increased Body Awareness & Proprioception
Improved Posture
Decrease Stress
Improves Mind-Body Connection
How to Use Somatic Practices:
You’ll find me saying this a lot- because it’s so true- There is no “right” way. There is only the way that works for you and you may find some practices work better for different sensations and some practices you may want to stay in for a while, while others will help you find calm much quicker. So experiment and see what works for you. :)
