WHEN BODY
HEALS MIND
Somatic Psychotherapy in Tempe, AZ
I'm Kawena Seagle, Licensed Professional Counselor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in Arizona.
Many people assume that trauma can be unlocked in the mind. But even when we open up, learn coping skills, shift our mindsets, and change our behavior, our symptoms may persist.
That's because trauma is stored, not in our mind, but in our nervous system. Somatic psychotherapy taps into the body’s innate wisdom to release trapped energy – bringing more day-to-day ease, capacity, and vibrancy to life.
"I have come to the conclusion that human beings are born with an innate capacity to triumph over trauma."
– Peter Levine, PhD,
creator of Somatic Experiencing

The parts of us that developed in various life stages hold unique insights for unraveling trauma. Giving these parts a voice allows us to be gentler with ourselves – more self aware and less judgemental.
Equine therapy is a hands-on, real-time work. The dynamics we encounter in daily life often repeat in our interactions with the horse. Plus, sometimes a change of scenery can regulate our nervous system.
