The field of somatic psychology has grown tremendously in recent years. Somatic psychology can be categorized as a body-oriented approach to therapy. Originally conceived of through the works of Pierre Janet and Wilhelm Reich, somatic psychotherapy is considered to be an energy- and character-driven type of therapy.
The overarching philosophy in somatic psychotherapy makes no distinction between body and mind. Instead, somatic psychology places an emphasis upon the all-important connection between an individual’s physical health and mental well-being. Certain practitioners of somatic psychotherapy extend this belief even further, asserting that all personal experiences, global events, and changes in the cultural and external atmosphere are related to one another.
