Somatic Psychotherapy

Body-oriented psychotherapy (also known as somatic psychotherapy) does not replace traditional psychotherapy theories and techniques; rather, it integrates knowledge of physiology and neuroscience as well as mindfulness and meditation practices with traditional therapy principles. An example of a body-oriented approach to anger management is studying the changes in your body when you get angry (i.e, clenched jaw, heat in cheeks) and near a place of losing control, in order to know these signs for the future and take action before the anger gets the best of you. Your body is your best resource!
