Rather than therapy based on purely thought processes, somatic based therapy connects mind with body.
Talk therapy is combined with mind-body exercises and practices in order to release tension and trauma stored in the body.
"The theory behind somatic therapy is that the mind, body, spirit, and emotions are all related and connected to each other. As a result, the stress of past emotional and traumatic events affects the central nervous system and can cause changes in the body and even in body language, often resulting in altered facial expressions and posture as well as physical pain. "

Somatic Experiencing promotes awareness and release of nervous system arousal and physical tension that remains in the body in the aftermath of trauma.
