Somatic Therapy in Berkeley: How It Helps High-Functioning Individuals Slow Down

Many of my clients in Berkeley are high-achieving, deeply self-aware, and completely exhausted. You might look like you have it all together, but inside, you're overwhelmed, disconnected, or constantly "on." Somatic therapy offers a different way. A way of slowing down and listening to the body, not just the mind.

Why Somatic Therapy? While traditional talk therapy stays in the head, somatic therapy invites the body into the conversation. It helps regulate the nervous system, process old trauma, and build emotional resilience from the inside out.

What This Looks Like in Practice:

• Tracking sensations, breath, and impulses

• Tuning into your body’s yes/no/maybe

• Working with fight/flight/freeze responses

• Reclaiming a felt sense of safety and pleasure

For the high-functioning client, slowing down isn't easy but it's essential.

When we create space to feel, we also create space to heal. If you’re ready to drop the armor and come home to yourself, somatic therapy in Berkeley might be the next right step.
