YOGYAKARTA Somatic therapy was originally created to help trauma survivors who experience symptoms of sleep difficulties, flashbacks, irregular diets, and chaotic relationships or lifestyles. In recent years, effective somatic therapy has helped people struggling with all kinds of stress triggers, managing anxiety, overcoming depression and other emotional difficulties.

In certain cases, the brain and body do not go hand in hand. Certain cognitive approaches in mind, such as 'I am evil', 'I am lonely', 'I will not heal', strong rooted while the body is actually struggling with the conditions experienced. So that's where psychotherapy is somatic with an all-body integrative approach, helping someone access body-based beliefs and release experiences that have been held back in the body.

A somatic approach involves a relationship between mind, brain, and behavior. Somatically trained therapists use interventions to help calm down his client's nervous system and assist in the healing process.

Somatic awareness begins to be built by recognizing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that encourage a sense of calm and security. Somatic therapy uses methods that focus on strengthening sensations in the body. This means recognizing what you feel and sensations on the skin.

In the method of somatic therapy, it is important to strengthen a sense of stability and security in the world. This method can be pursued by identifying the resources that we may have. Often we imagine things or people who make ourselves feel safe. Like a 'wise figure', a 'protector', and a 'career'. When feeling a safe sensation, feelings and related experiences can be brought back when tired or anxious.

The concept of grounding is the root of an itnervention that focuses on mind and body. Alexander Lowen, an expert who develops bioenergetics introduces the grounding as a concept where we can live life fully by experiencing ourselves and being connected to the world around us. By grounding, it will help calm and regulate our nervous system when we feel too active or triggered by certain triggers.

Tensions, anxiety, memories of traumatic experiences, can be processed as long as we can track and describe. For example, when you get angry, to help yourself through it, use descriptive words to fulfill the body's experience. Descriptive language is a method to deepen whatever you experience.

When experiencing difficult situations, past discomfort, trauma, and strong emotions, movement is a natural way for the body to move. Movements naturally to help strengthen your ability to emerge, connect with other people, and feel more confident.

The movement helps us take advantage of our built-in abilities that are stored in our bodies. You can take the time to identify how we interact with people around the clock. Starting from signs, posture, volume of sound, and presence in the room communicate what we believe about ourselves, what we expect, or what we have experienced in the past. In somatic therapy, movement is used to help a person get through something.

Self-regulation refers to the way we calm ourselves when connected to others or calm ourselves when we are alone. When calming ourselves, especially when we are with other people, we can better regulate emotions when connected with other people's warmth, attention, and stability. When calming yourself down, it requires a combination of calm that is obtained from others as well as the ability of drainage to self-regulate. Self-regulation tools that are taught to help overcome major emotions and joint regulatory techniques that are also used in therapy.
