Abstract Shapes

Somatic Ego State Therapy with Body Symptoms

As a mindbody approach Somatic Ego State Therapy is especially helpful with pain, somatic issues and with persistent (unresponsive) symptoms such as emotional and physical pain syndromes. Pain may be caused either by physical injuries or impairment by unresolved trauma which can lead to tension and freeze responses which eventually have an impact on the brain and body. Multiple traumas often result in chronic pain, which again is traumatizing, overwhelming and triggers feelings of powerlessness. Building resilience is therefore the main goal. With the Somatic Ego State therapy approach we have the tools to access “somatic” ego states and to differentiate organically caused pain from “psychosomatic” pain and alleviate both pain patterns.

 

This experiential day seminar will focus on somatic strategies to regulate the nervous system and alleviate pain. Participants will learn to utilize bodily expression and to access body issues through somatic ego states.

 

Methods:

Case studies and demo will show co- and self-regulation techniques and methods to work with somatic ego states, especially helpful in the treatment of physical or emotional pain or with clients who are “too much in their heads”.
