Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
Heal through movement and awareness.
Sensorimotor psychotherapy bridges body-based interventions with psychological processing — addressing trauma through the integrated pathways of sensation, movement, and meaning-making.
What it addresses
- Developmental trauma
- Attachment disruptions
- Chronic & complex PTSD
- Sensory processing challenges
- Freeze & shutdown responses
- Dissociative symptoms
What a session looks like
Your therapist tracks both verbal and non-verbal cues — posture, gesture, breath, and facial expression — to identify where the body holds unresolved experience. Mindful movement sequences, boundary-setting exercises, and titrated exposure help complete the body's interrupted trauma responses safely. Progress is always client-paced. Sessions run 45–60 minutes and never push faster than the nervous system can tolerate.
