_________________________________________
🎨 Somatic body mapping involves painting a life-size representation of your body using different mediums, images, symbols, and words to express where in your body you feel that are full of life, places that hurt, and places that hold hope and potential for the future.
✨ In the process of creating the somatic body map, you will discover new links between these places in you and gain a deeper understanding of yourself.
-What do I notice in my body?
-What needs my attention right now?
-Are there any images, feelings, physical sensations or points of constriction?

Benefits:
- Non-verbal approach: This is ideal for individuals who may struggle to express their trauma or worries verbally or struggle with traditional talk therapy, as Dance therapy and Expressive Arts therapy primarily engage the body's responses.
- Empowerment: People often report feeling more in control of their emotional responses and better equipped to manage stress and physical discomfort.
- Mind and Body Connection: We are not just our thoughts and feelings in our brain; we have a whole body that works to support us and help us function. Dance therapy and expressive arts therapy address the physical effects trauma, anxiety, and stress can have on our body, helping us become increasingly aware of what’s happening both in our mind and our body and our body image. We are capable of top-down thinking (from the mind) as well as bottom-up understanding (through the body). Working in both directions allows us to heal and regulate more wholly.
-Long-lasting results: many individuals experience lasting relief from trauma-related symptoms, as Dance therapy and Expressive Arts target the root physiological causes of stored trauma in the body.
