Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Body-Centered Psychotherapy) is a method of talk therapy that offers non-judgmental support to individuals experiencing the complex effects of trauma and developmental and relational wounding. This can show up in many ways, such as depression, anxiety, panic, chronic pain and fatigue, fibromyalgia, disordered eating, self-destructive behaviours, addiction and difficulties with attention, intrusive thoughts, intimacy and connection.

In Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, we believe that attention to the body plays a vital role in the healing process. Throughout our lifetimes, we learn many ways to protect ourselves from harm. These protective patterns can remain with us, in our bodies and minds, as well as habitual ways of reacting, and often exist outside of conscious awareness.

In the therapy space, we discover how these habitual ways of protecting ourselves have become barriers to enjoying life and connecting with others. We work to find new resources and process painful experiences; this can help alleviate stress, increase our comfort and pleasure in daily life, and help us engage in satisfying, connected relationships.
