What to expect during a Somatic Sojourn session?
Consultation and Assessment
Your therapist will start by chatting with you about your health history, any current issues you're experiencing, and your goals for the session. This helps them tailor the experience to your specific needs.
Mindful Body Connection
Throughout the session, your therapist will encourage you to tune into your body sensations. They might ask you questions like, "What do you feel in this area?" or "How does this movement affect your breath?" It's all about helping you become more aware of your body.
Hands-On Techniques
Your therapist will use a variety of gentle, hands-on techniques to help release tension and promote relaxation; these might include light touch, stretching, and gentle manipulation of your muscles and joints.
Body Awareness Integration
During the session, your therapist might guide you through some gentle movements or breathing exercises to help you integrate the work you’re doing.
Emotional Release and Relaxation
Don't be surprised if you experience some emotional release during your session. Somatic Sojourns can help unlock stored emotions in your body, leading to a sense of relief and relaxation. It's like effective massage techniques for migraine relief – sometimes, addressing physical tension can lead to emotional release too!
Follow-Up and Progress Tracking
Your therapist will likely check in with you after the session to see how you're feeling and discuss any changes you've noticed, and they might also provide some suggestions for self-care between sessions.
