Somatic Interventions for Anxiety

Anxiety is not just something we think. It is something we feel in the body.

It can show up as a tight chest, racing thoughts, stomach knots, shallow breathing, trouble sleeping, or that constant sense that something is about to go wrong even when life is calm.

Some of us might have spent years analyzing and talking about our anxiety and still feel stuck. That’s because anxiety shows up in the body as much as in the mind, and somatic work helps us notice those patterns and slowly change them.

With over 11 years of experience and in depth training in Somatic Anxiety Therapy, we’ll work together to understand how anxiety shows up in your mind and body and build a steadier, calmer baseline over time.

What This Approach Looks Like

In our sessions, we may work with:

• Learning how anxiety shows up in your body and identifying your personal triggers
• Understanding the nervous system and why panic, overthinking, or shutdown happen
• Gentle somatic regulation practices that calm activation without suppressing emotions
• Working with intrusive thoughts and catastrophic thinking using Acceptance and Commitments Therapy based tools
• Processing stored emotional tension from past stress or trauma
• Building a felt sense of safety so your body is not stuck in alarm mode
• Developing daily regulation habits that make anxiety easier to manage
• Reconnecting with confidence and trust in yourself

This work moves at a pace that feels manageable for you. Instead of fighting anxiety or trying to force it away, we focus on helping your nervous system feel more flexible, more grounded, and more at ease over time.

Who This Can Help

This work can be especially helpful if you experience:

• Chronic anxiety and Panic
• Health anxiety or constant worry
• Social anxiety or fear of judgment
• Dating or relationship anxiety
• Nighttime anxiety or trouble sleeping
• Stress that shows up physically in your body
• Burnout or nervous system overwhelm

The Goal of Somatic Anxiety Work

Over time, those engaging in this process will often notice they can calm themselves more quickly, understand their triggers more clearly, feel safer in their body, sleep better, think more clearly, and feel more present in their relationships.

Anxiety becomes something you can understand and navigate, instead of something that runs your life.
