Rather than struggling to get clients to talk about what happened, a somatic approach emphasizes attention to the physical and emotional responses that keep the trauma ‘alive’ in our bodies for decades. Challenging their tendency to interpret nonverbal memory as a sign of defectiveness or danger, a repair model prioritizes attention to body and feeling memories rather than to the events that caused them. What is our end in mind? It is to transform the clients’ relationship to the traumatic effects left behind. By addressing the legacy still held in body and mind, we can help clients repair their feelings of inadequacy, fear, or shame, leaving them with an embodied sense of “I survived – I made it – and I’m safe now.”
