Mindfulness and somatic therapy focuses on clients’ strengths to improve their lives and mental health by increasing knowledge and understanding about the nervous system and body signals, intrinsic beliefs, thought and emotional patterns, and how our values guide us. Somatic therapy simply means learning to become more connected and accepting of ourselves by learning about what comes from our mind and our body systems. We get to know how to work with, rather than "fix", the workings of the body, emotions, and thoughts. Understand to how use what matters to us, what we value, to improve ourselves and reduce suffering.
