Somatic healing trusts that your body is part of the solution, not the obstacle. EMDR adds rhythm and structure so that solution has a path.
We begin by practising regulation: softening the jaw, widening the gaze, feeling the support through your feet, lengthening the exhale. These cues are small but powerful; they help your system settle without pushing.
Somatic awareness lets us notice the places that ask for care—tight ribs, a heavy belly, a quickened chest. Instead of fighting these signals, we include them kindly and choices return.
EMDR’s bilateral stimulation then processes the moments and beliefs that keep patterns stuck. We move in short rounds with frequent consent checks and steady pausing so the body can integrate safely.
Between sessions we add tiny rituals—brief breaths, outdoor glances, simple boundary lines—so what changes in session starts to live in your day.
FAQ
Q1. What do you mean by somatic healing with EMDR?
We listen to the body’s cues and process stuck patterns with bilateral work so change is felt, not forced.
Q2. Is this suitable if talking hasn’t helped?
Yes. We prioritise sensation, regulation and gentle pacing, then add words as safety grows.
Q3. Do you offer both in‑person and online?
Yes—Weybridge appointments and secure online sessions are available.
