Somatic Trauma Release
Somatic Trauma Release (STR) is an innovative form of bodywork that seeks to balance the mind, body & spirit by unraveling core fight or flight responses from PTSD, trauma, assault, rape & addiction through acupressure, touch & somatic trigger exposure which helps bring peace from suffering. STR is a cutting-edge therapy that works with the human condition on many conscious and subconscious levels. STR combines understanding of the physiological aspects of trauma with the somatic release of trauma from the body. Patterning, triggering, and guarding from trauma can cause many physiological and psychological problems that present themselves within the body. STR can be an avenue for people to start living in the present by releasing past patterning and somatic triggers from the body. STR's goal is to allow recipients to start living up to their full potential instead of being limited by body patterning, triggers, childhood neglect, trauma, addictive behaviors, and muscle memory. STR attempts to facilitate people in creating a joyful life by releasing sorrow, grief, physiological patterning, automatic physical responses, and emotional triggers. STR helps clients build trust in themselves so they can truly be with people in their lives because they know how to be with their internal being and ride the ebbs and flows of emotion with body awareness.
