Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a body-oriented talking approach that helps you to get in touch with your body, thoughts, and emotions when you experience negative feelings.
Research shows that when a disturbing experience occurs it disrupts the communication, thus the integration of the two sides of the brain. They simply don’t work together, causing an individual to relive the experience over and over again because processing cannot occur.
While in the presence of a caring and skillful therapist, you learn to track how your body, emotions, and thoughts live in the body’s nervous system. As a result, a re-wiring occurs between the two hemispheres of the brain. This rewiring must occur to heal the effects of deeply ingrained patterns of experience.
Your new awareness and conscious actions change how your brain works, rewiring the unconscious with the conscious memory. You begin the healing process so you can achieve the ability to soothe yourself. The process provides a centered, calming effect. You are no longer trapped by your physical, cognitive, and emotional reactions.
A deep, inner awareness develops within you, and your relationship with yourself and others improves. You become freer to be your true self and to live in the present moment.
