Most counselors include thoughts and feelings. But we’re missing a crucial piece of the puzzle! Somatic or body-based language is necessary to help people process upsetting events from the past including trauma or relationship conflict. Bessel van der Kolk, a famous psychiatrist wrote the book on trauma called, “The Body Keeps the Score”. In it, he talks about the importance of body-based interventions to help process traumatic events. If we can help kids learn this language early, they can better describe their experiences and better process the trauma. This will lead to better outcomes in counseling and improved mental health symptoms!
