What exactly is Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP)?

SP is a body-centered therapy rooted in neuroscience that integrates physical responses into trauma healing.

Does SP involve physical touch from the therapist?

No. SP involves bringing your own awareness to your bodily sensations and movements in a safe space.

What are the three phases of SP?

Safety & Stabilization, Processing, and Integration. We ensure safety first before processing past trauma.

Why do we focus on the body instead of just talking?

Because trauma disrupts the nervous system. Talk therapy alone often cannot resolve the physical imprint of fear.

Can SP help with anxiety?

Absolutely. SP helps resolve the physical sensations tied to fear and panic.

Trauma doesn't just impact your thoughts; it disrupts your physical nervous system. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) integrates the body into trauma healing.
