Somatic therapy is a type of therapy that focuses on the connection between the mind and body to promote emotional and physical healing. This type of therapy is based on the idea that our bodies hold onto and express emotions and that by becoming more aware of our bodily sensations and movements, we can better understand and process our emotions.
Often, people who have experienced trauma or other difficult experiences may disconnect from their bodies as a way to cope with the overwhelming emotions they are experiencing. By becoming more aware of bodily sensations, individuals can begin to reconnect with their bodies and process their emotions in a more integrated way. By utilizing Beyond Healing Center's Somatic Integration Processing conceptualization model, Angela provides a whole person-centered approach to health.
Another of Angela's areas of practice includes utilizing somatic practices and the intuitive eating philosophy to help individuals achieve a healthy relationship with food and body image.
