FAQs

What is the difference between Talk therapy, Somatic therapy, and EMDR therapy?

Talk therapy, also known as traditional therapy, is a treatment management plan to help change internal narratives, understand the past with more clarity, and shift perspectives in the present day through conversation using therapeutic modalities.

Somatic therapy is a body based therapy that utilizes movement to address unresolved trauma. This unique form of therapy believes trauma is stored in the body. This will be a combination of both talk and somatic (body based) therapy.

EMDR or eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing is therapy treatment used to address trauma stored in the emotional part of our brains. It utilizes grounding and eye movement to help shift negative core beliefs to positive core beliefs from a neurological standpoint. This therapy is unique in that it does not require talk however it is encouraged to do EMDR sessions in conjunction with talk therapy. The frequency of treatment is dependent upon the need and depth of the trauma.
