Somatic Therapies:
Integrating Neurobiology with Jung and IFS
What Are Somatic Practices?
Somatic therapies include a range of powerful techniques to help you learn to regulate your nervous system and reconnect with your body. Body awareness techniques help release tension, reduce anxiety, and improve emotional resilience. These practices help bring your body back to a state of balance, so you can feel calmer, more centered, and more in control of your life. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, or simply the stress of daily life, somatic-based therapies offers a direct way to reconnect with your inner resources.
Soma and Jung
Incorporating a Jungian framework with somatic therapies allows us to explore the symbolic aspects of your experience. Jungian psychology emphasizes the importance of embodiment as a way to engage unconscious patterns, personal symbols, and archetypal images that are alive in our experience. Jung saw the body as a gateway into the unconscious.
Somatic IFS—An Embodied Approach
Blending somatic therapies with Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a great way to help restore balance and gain a renewed sense of understanding about the parts of yourself. You won’t just work on reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, or stress—you’ll gain tools to address inner conflict and navigate life’s challenges with more Self-awareness.
