When the Body is Part of the Conversation by Angela Larme​r

Trauma doesn’t just live in the mind. It lives in the body. I see it in the tension that builds without warning, the urge to shut down in overwhelming moments, or the feeling of being stuck even after gaining insight. This is where Somatic EMDR can offer something different—an approach that includes the body in the process of resolving what words alone can't always reach.

You may already be familiar with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as a therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories. Through bilateral stimulation like eye movements or tapping, EMDR supports the integration of difficult experiences, so they no longer hold the same emotional charge. But for many people, the effects of trauma aren’t just mental—they’re physical. That’s where Somatic EMDR comes in.
