EMDR
Guided support for when your mind and body feel out of sync
At Spring EOP in Colorado Springs, we know that trauma doesn’t just live in your thoughts — it often shows up in your body. Tension, restlessness, or that constant “on edge” feeling can be signs your body is still carrying stress from the past.
Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a gentle, body-based therapy that helps release stored stress, calm the nervous system, and restore a sense of balance. It’s one of the many approaches our therapists may use to help you reconnect with yourself and find relief.
Understanding How the Body Holds Stress
Somatic Experiencing focuses on how your body holds onto stress long after difficult experiences have passed. When the body stays in a state of survival, it can lead to symptoms like:
Chronic tension or discomfort
Trouble sleeping
Anxiety or panic
Difficulty focusing
Feeling disconnected or numb
Feeling easily overwhelmed
Through SE, the body gradually learns that it’s safe to relax again — helping you feel more present, grounded, and at ease.
Therapy That Helps You Feel More Like You Again
In somatic therapy, your therapist may guide you to notice what’s happening in your body — sensations, breathing patterns, or areas of tension — and help you explore those experiences with curiosity, not pressure.
It’s a gentle, mindful process that helps your nervous system settle. You don’t have to revisit painful memories in detail; instead, you’ll work toward feeling calmer and more connected in your day-to-day life.
