Modern people resolve any internal conflicts by turning to reason. We try to analyze and find logical explanations for the feelings we experience, striving to understand the reason why we suffer, but more often than not, our thoughts cause us to lose sight of the simplest yet most profound truth. All the emotions we experience live in our bodies, and, in other words, any stress, fear, loss, or anger inevitably leaves its mark on us in the literal sense, an imprint on our muscles, breathing, and even posture. If we ignore this and do not allow the body to release such tension, the psyche will remain in a state of extreme tension, tormenting us every day.

The above principles form the basis of the somatic therapy technique used by Denver-based psychotherapist Dennis Guyvan. His services help hundreds of clients find inner balance and get rid of old traumas imprinted in the body. At Embodiedintegrations, you will find a way out and healing even for hopelessly neglected psychological ailments. Somatic therapy is not just talking; it is a gentle yet profound immersion into the sensations of our body, the rhythm of our breathing, and the mechanics of our movements. During Embodiedintegrations sessions, you will learn to listen to your body’s signals and, over time, be able to recognize where the energy of pain or fear is stuck: the first steps necessary to eventually release this force that is destroying you from within.
Somatic therapy in Embodiedintegrations involves the ability to understand the problem, live through it to the end and release it through the body, to become aware of your boundaries and resources. Somatic therapy is especially effective for patients who have experienced psychologically traumatic emotions in the past, resulting in prolonged chronic stress, panic attacks, or simply emotional burnout. Denver therapists can offer both individual and group sessions in somatic therapy to help you develop a conscious relationship with your body, trust it, and build inner resilience. This is not just psychological therapy, but a way to find harmony within yourself and live in balance with your feelings.
Remember that emotional healing is simply impossible without involving the body in the process, because that is where everything that the mind is unable to express is stored. When we find the root cause of our psychological discomfort within ourselves, in our bodies, that is when the real healing process begins.
