Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a body-oriented approach that brings gentle awareness to how trauma and attachment wounding are stored in the nervous system. Rather than focusing solely on story or insight, this method invites us to notice subtle physiological patterns—posture, tension, breath, movement—and how they reflect unspoken survival responses shaped by the past.
Many clients come into therapy with a sense of being stuck, even after years of inner work. They understand their history, yet certain emotional or relational patterns continue to play out. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy helps bridge that gap—by working directly with the body’s implicit memory, we allow the nervous system to shift from protection to presence.
What I appreciate most in this approach is its steadiness. There is no rush, no pressure to re-live painful events. The focus is on building internal safety and regulation, gradually allowing the body to release what it has held for too long. Over time, clients often describe feeling more grounded, more able to choose how to respond, rathe than react, and more connected to themselves from within.
Sensorimotor work can be especially powerful in combination with EMDR or IFS, and forms a core part of my work with complex trauma, dissociation, and developmental wounding.
