Somatic Interventions
CBT is a structured, goal-oriented therapy that focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns. By challenging negative beliefs and developing healthier coping strategies, CBT helps individuals manage anxiety, stress, depression, and other emotional challenges.
Adlerian therapy emphasizes personal growth, self-awareness, and the importance of social connections. It explores how early life experiences shape current beliefs and behaviors, helping individuals develop confidence, resilience, and a greater sense of purpose.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a trauma-focused therapy designed to help individuals reprocess distressing memories. Through guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation techniques, EMDR reduces the emotional intensity of past experiences, allowing for healing and emotional regulation.
Somatic Interventions
Somatic interventions focus on the mind-body connection, using breathwork, movement, and grounding techniques to release stored tension and trauma. By increasing body awareness, individuals can regulate emotions, reduce anxiety, and promote overall well-being.
