Teach your clients to gain a sense of their body as a safe place to live. Working gradually and incrementally, we will use Somatic Intervention to repair the body and the sense of self which were compromised by abuse. Enable your clients to contain their internal experience, build trust, tolerate intimacy and approach pleasure.
