Somatic therapy helped Sarah* overcome preverbal trauma.

Research has shown that somatic therapy approaches, such as Integrative Body Psychotherapy, can be highly effective in addressing in-utero and preverbal trauma that traditional talk therapy is not able to tap into fully. By accessing the body’s innate intelligence and addressing trauma stored at a cellular level, you can experience profound healing and transformation that extends beyond the limitations of verbal communication alone.

While growing up, Sarah’s mother was emotionally distant and critical, often making offhand remarks about Sarah’s intelligence and worthiness. Sarah internalized these messages at a young age, believing she was flawed and inadequate. As Sarah explored therapy, she started to uncover the roots of her struggles.

Through exploration and reflection, Sarah realized that many of her beliefs about herself were formed in her early years, long before she had the cognitive ability to question or challenge them. Messages from her mother, delivered during moments of frustration or stress, became Sarah’s truth, shaping her self-concept and influencing her interactions with the world.

Sarah gained empowerment and resilience.

In therapy, Sarah learned about the concept of preverbal trauma, explaining how experiences and messages received in early childhood, particularly before the age of six when language and rationalization skills are still developing, can leave a lasting impact on a person’s psyche. Together, they explore how Sarah’s early experiences continue to shape her beliefs and behaviors in adulthood.

Through therapy, Sarah learned to challenge the validity of these early messages and cultivate a newfound sense of self-compassion and self-worth. She started to recognize that the critical voice in her head was not her own but echoes from the past. With support, Sarah gradually learned to rewrite her inner narrative, replacing self-doubt with messages of self-acceptance and self-love.

As Sarah continued her healing journey, she discovered a newfound sense of empowerment and resilience. By confronting the preverbal trauma that has haunted her for so long, Sarah started to reclaim her voice and her sense of self. With each session, she has moved closer to a future defined by authenticity, joy, and self-empowerment.
