Therapy for Medical Trauma & Chronic Illness
Living with acute or chronic illness or navigating difficult medical experiences can change your relationship with your body in profound ways. You may feel like your body has become unpredictable, unsafe, or no longer your own. Medical trauma can leave lasting imprints—moments where you felt overwhelmed, unheard, or powerless—and those experiences can continue to live on in your nervous system.
Integrative Somatic Therapy offers a gentle, supportive space to begin reconnecting with your body at your own pace.
Together, we slow things down and listen—not just to your thoughts, but to the subtle signals of your body. With care and curiosity, we explore how stress, pain, fear, and resilience are held physically and emotionally. This work doesn’t ask you to push past your limits. Instead, it honors your body’s wisdom and prioritizes safety, choice, and agency in every step.
Sessions may include:
Grounding and nervous system regulation practices
Gentle body awareness (always invitational, never forced)
Support in processing medical or procedural trauma
Tools for navigating flare-ups, uncertainty, and fatigue
Rebuilding trust and communication with your body
Why you matter:
Whether you’re living with ongoing symptoms, recovering from medical procedures, or carrying the emotional weight of past healthcare experiences, this work meets you where you are.
There is nothing “wrong” with the ways your body has learned to cope. These responses are adaptations—your system’s way of trying to protect you.
Over time, somatic therapy can help create a sense of steadiness, soften the intensity of stress responses, and open the possibility of feeling more at home in your body again—even alongside illness.
You deserve care that honors your limits, your experience, and your whole self.
