Our minds and bodies are deeply interconnected, along with a very human need to connect in various ways to other beings. For a variety of reasons, and especially after the emergence of COVID-19 in 2020, connecting with ourselves and with others has been very difficult. Somatic therapy invites you to be in your body, which can provide tremendous relief for a number of ailments. Additionally, improving connection in your body is a great way to safely begin connecting with others – learning how to ask for what you want, speak up for your dis/comfort, and relaxing into the pleasure that is being held in trust.
