Somatic Trauma Release (STR)

Somatic Trauma Release (STR) is a powerful, body-centered therapy that helps release the effects of trauma, both physical and emotional, by focusing on how it’s held in the body. At CHA Family Wellness, we use STR to gently guide clients through the process of connecting with and releasing suppressed emotions that may show up as pain, anxiety, or chronic stress. Whether from a single traumatic event or ongoing childhood experiences, unresolved trauma can keep the body in a constant state of alert. STR works by using therapeutic touch, acupressure, and somatic techniques to help calm the nervous system, process deep emotional wounds, and support healing from within, bringing the mind, body, and spirit back into balance.
