Somatic Therapy Clinic Singapore
Trauma therapy is not one single method. In Singapore, clients may come across EMDR, Somatic Experiencing®, TRE, Brainspotting, psychotherapy and other nervous-system-based approaches. Each can be useful, but they support healing in different ways.
At Heal With Nav, therapy is integrative. This means the approach is chosen based on your nervous system, symptoms, history and goals. Some clients benefit from body-based stabilization before deeper memory processing. Others need relational support, emotional insight or a combination of somatic and cognitive work.
Somatic Experiencing® is a body-based approach to trauma healing that works with the nervous system’s natural capacity for regulation. It can support people who experience anxiety, chronic stress, PTSD symptoms, freeze responses, emotional overwhelm, shutdown or difficulty feeling safe in the body.
At Heal With Nav, Somatic Experiencing® is offered by Navroop Sood, a Certified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner and EMDR therapist in Singapore. Sessions are gentle, paced and collaborative. You do not need to retell every detail of your trauma to begin.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an extensively researched and highly effective psychotherapy technique. It is a proven method aimed at helping individuals recover from trauma and various other distressing life experiences including the following:
It is a powerful and effective therapy and is highly recommended for successful treatment of trauma.
Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms. It is a simultaneous form of diagnosis and treatment, enhanced with BioLateral sound, which is deep, direct, and powerful yet focused and containing.
Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®) is an innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. The exercises safely activate a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When this muscular shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance.
It’s reflexive muscle vibrations generally feel pleasant and soothing. After doing TRE®, many people report feelings of peace and well-being. It has helped many thousands of people globally.
The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is an innovative, evidence-based listening therapy designed to improve the way our nervous system responds to stress and enhances social engagement and resilience. Developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, SSP uses specially filtered music to target the vagus nerve, which plays a critical role in regulating the autonomic nervous system. This protocol is highly effective for individuals with anxiety, trauma, autism, and other sensory processing challenges. By calming the nervous system, SSP helps achieve better emotional regulation and social interactions.
Our childhood experiences forms the basis of our attachment styles, which get replayed in our daily emotional landscape, our relationships and how we feel about ourselves. In the wake of a traumatic event(s), that attachment style can deeply influence what happens next and may disrupt our most important connections with ourself, with others and with the world in general. Power of attachment helps us to restore love, wholeness and resiliency in our lives.
Different trauma therapy approaches support different parts of the healing process. Somatic Experiencing® works directly with the nervous system and body’s protective responses. EMDR supports the processing of distressing memories and beliefs. TRE may help the body release stress patterns through tremor-based regulation. Brainspotting works with the brain-body connection through focused awareness.
At Heal With Nav, these modalities are not used as one-size-fits-all techniques. Sessions are tailored to your capacity, history, goals and nervous system state. Some clients need stabilization first. Others are ready for deeper trauma processing. The priority is always safety, pacing and integration.
