Psychotherapy & Somatic Therapy in Singapore
Trauma can have a profound impact on an individual’s ability to function with resilience and ease.
Understanding trauma is crucial in providing effective therapeutic interventions for those who have experienced significant distress.
It may result from a wide range of stressors, including accidents, medical procedures, assault, abuse, natural disasters, and ongoing stress.
The effects of trauma can deeply impact an individual’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body-oriented therapy that integrates physiology, psychology, and neuroscience to help heal trauma and stress disorders.
This therapeutic approach recognizes the intricate connection between the body and the mind in healing from trauma.
SE therapists use techniques like SIBAM (Sensation, Imagery, Behaviour, Affect, and Meaning) to help clients process and release traumatic experiences.
Through these techniques, individuals can learn to regulate their nervous system responses and reduce the symptoms of trauma.
This approach is effective in addressing traumatic shock, emotional wounds, and fixated physiological states.
By addressing these various aspects, Somatic Experiencing aims to restore a sense of safety and empowerment to individuals who have experienced trauma.
Trauma may begin as acute stress from a perceived life-threat or as the end product of cumulative stress.
Both types of stress can impair, sometimes seriously, a person’s ability to function with resilience and ease.
Trauma may result from a wide variety of stressors such as accidents, invasive medical procedures, sexual or physical assault, emotional abuse, neglect, war, natural disasters, loss, birth trauma, epigenetics, systems, or the corrosive stressors of ongoing fear and conflict.
These stressors emphasize the importance of early intervention and trauma-informed care to prevent long-lasting negative impacts on individuals’ well-being.
Somatic Experiencing is a powerful therapy that helps individuals overcome PTSD, attachment trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief.
It is gentle and non-invasive, focusing on the body’s innate ability to restore balance and self-regulate.
This therapeutic approach focuses on renegotiating the body’s responses to stress and trauma, helping individuals restore equilibrium and well-being.
Somatic Experiencing can be particularly beneficial for individuals who struggle with unresolved trauma and chronic stress.
It is also effective for managing chronic pain, supporting athletes and performers, and addressing a range of mental health concerns, including addictions, eating disorders, mood disorders, OCD, and somatoform disorders.

Somatic Experiencing® isn’t about analysing your past or talking endlessly about your pain.
While we use gentle dialogue, the real focus is on what your nervous system is communicating in the present moment. Instead of interpreting, we track the felt sense — the micro-sensations, impulses, contractions, expansions, and subtle shifts that reveal how your body has been holding survival stress.
In SE sessions, the goal is not to talk about your experience… but to stay with it, slowly and safely:
A pause that suddenly appears
A shallow breath you didn’t realize you were holding
A tightening in the jaw
An impulse to turn away or collapse inward
These are not symptoms to fix—they are nervous system signals inviting us into regulation, completion, and healing.
Trauma-informed Somatic Experiencing® acknowledges that trauma is stored not just in memory, but in physiological patterns such as:
Persistent muscle tension or chronic collapse
Numbness, shutdown, or disconnection
Habits of fawning, overperforming, or withdrawing
A constant sense of danger, even in safe environments
These patterns are not character flaws—they are survival adaptations your system created to protect you.
Through slow, titrated awareness, combined with a deeply attuned therapeutic relationship, your body begins to renegotiate what it could not complete in the past.
As we follow these signals with curiosity and containment, your nervous system finds new patterns and new choices.
What once felt overwhelming, automatic, or out of your control can begin to feel:
More spacious
More grounded
More regulated
More you
This is the heart of Somatic Experiencing®: restoring the body’s capacity for resilience, coherence, and genuine safety.
