Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a body-centered approach to therapy that recognizes how experiences — especially overwhelming or traumatic ones — are held not only in thoughts and emotions, but also in the body. Rather than focusing primarily on talking through the past, this approach gently brings attention to present-moment bodily sensations, movements, and nervous system responses. By working with these physical signals in a careful, supported way, people can develop greater regulation, awareness, and choice, allowing patterns shaped by past experiences to soften and change over time.
