What does somatic mean here ?

Central Nervous System

Central Nervous System

It can be unnerving to see this picture of your organs but this is actually a picture of our whole brain /body where we experience things. Have you ever noticed your shoulders getting tense or your stomach having a knot? When I talk about somatic psychotherapy, I really am just talking about noticing and working with the whole brain/body ..from the knot in the stomach and resolving that, to building new stories from that resolution, which gives rise to greater emotional coherence, resilience and mindfulness.
