Managing Depression and Anxiety through Somatic Healing with Jennie Pool, Mend Counseling EP8

The Samantha Parker Show

Somatic therapy is like a fusion of psychology and getting in touch with your body’s vibes. Today, Jennie Pool from Mend Counseling is spilling the tea on how to use simple somatic techniques to work through anxiety and depression.

Your body is a storage unit for all the stuff life throws at you, good and bad. And sometimes, we need to shake off some of this survival energy! That's where somatic therapy comes in to save the day.

Forget about cookie-cutter therapy approaches. Somatic therapy is all about finding what works for you and your body. Maybe it's some tapping, a little movement there, or even just a big yawn. It’s a simple, personalized journey for your body's healing.

And, hey, have you heard about psychedelic-assisted therapy? Yeah, it's the new wave, but you have the right person facilitating the experience. If done correctly, these can release a lot of stored trauma and allow space for new patterns, behaviors, and things to come into your life.

At Mend Counseling Center in St. George, Utah, Jennie uses somatic therapy to take center stage. With a focus on progressive modalities, Mend offers both in-person and telehealth sessions, recognizing the accessibility and efficacy of somatic techniques beyond the confines of a physical office. As interest in somatic therapy grows, Mend remains at the forefront, providing therapists and clients with the tools and training needed to move through stuck trauma patterns.

So, if you're ready to untangle the mess of life's craziness and dig into serious healing, somatic therapy might just be what you are looking for.
