I believe that therapy works best when it includes the whole person.  Expect that therapy will include attention to how  you feel - not just emotionally, but physically as well.  Often, a tight neck is as important a message as a sad thought or an angry feeling!   Sometimes, somatic work means including the body in conversation: what is happening in your body while we talk?  The body often holds important information about our inner world. Somatic work can also include exploring physical practices - exercise, fitness, diet, arts, meditation - that would greatly benefit a person’s life.  What we do with our bodies on any given day profoundly impacts our mood and disposition.
