Understanding Somatic Dance and Its Connection to Trauma Healing
In the heart of somatic dance is a message of embodied healing and self-expression. This distinctive form of dance enables us to reconnect with our bodies and draw attention to nervous system patterns created from past traumas. Not merely an art form, somatic dance is a tool for therapeutic emotional expression, mindfulness, and self-love.
"The body speaks in movement before it speaks in words. We dance, therefore, to reclaim our emotional truth and heal wounds of trauma."- Martha Eddy, Somatic Movement Expert
The Science Behind Somatic Dance Therapy
Our brains store trauma in a non-verbal part called the limbic system. Through trauma-informed somatic practices, we learn to use movement and dance to rewire the brain and facilitate emotional release and healing. Research has verified the efficacy of somatic dance therapy, demonstrating improved mental health, reduction of PTSD symptoms, and enhanced body-awareness.
