What is Psychosomatic Therapy?
How has your body learned to meet life?
Before We Talk About Therapy...
We first need to understand something about being human.
Every moment of every day your body and mind are engaged in a conversation with the world.
Whether you're aware of it or not, this conversation never stops.
Every experience teaches your body something.
Every relationships shapes how we relate.
Every challenge influences how you prepare for tomorrow.
Little by little... life becomes biology.
Psychosomatic doesn't mean "it's all in your head."
Psychosomatic simply describes the relationship between consciousness, emotions, the nervous system and the body.
It recognises that our experiences continually influence our biology, just as our biology influences how we experience life.
The Body is Always Adapting
From the moment we are born, our body adapts to meet life. Every experience, relationship, belief, injury, stress, movement, environment and choice leaves an imprint. These imprints shape how we hold ourselves, breathe, move and respond.
Adaptation is intelligent. It is how we survive and how we become who we become.
The Body Speaks
The body communicates constantly through posture, breathing, movement, facial expression, tone, tension and behaviour. These are not random-they are meaningful messages shaped by our history.
Emotional Anatomy
Emotional Anatomy is the study of how emotions organise the body. Emotions are not just something we feel-they are chemistry in motion that influence our posture, tissues, nervous system, behaviour and expression.
Why does the Body and Face Change?
