Therapy

Consider seeing a therapist for individual and/or group therapy to help you process the various emotions that you are experiencing.

Somatic therapy is a therapeutic approach that helps people understand how their body and emotions are connected. It uses breath, movement, dance, or meditation, instead of traditional talk therapy, to help people process situations that they have experienced in life. By learning these special techniques, you can help your body let go of old, stuck feelings and feel more peaceful and happier. Examples of somatic therapy approaches include dance and movement therapy, emotional freedom technique (tapping), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), brainspotting, qigong, yoga, and tai chi.
