today’s fast-paced world, the connection between emotional well-being and physical health is becoming increasingly recognized. At Natural Healthcare Services in Pittsburgh, Somato Emotional Release (SER) therapy offers a transformative approach to healing that addresses both the mind and body. This gentle, yet profound therapy helps individuals release emotional traumas stored in the body, promoting overall wellness and relief from physical pain.


What is Somato Emotional Release Therapy?

Somato Emotional Release Therapy is a holistic therapeutic process developed from CranioSacral Therapy (CST). It was founded by Dr. John E. Upledger, who discovered that emotional traumas and stress can become physically trapped in the body’s tissues, leading to pain, discomfort, and other health issues. SER is designed to release these stored emotions and energy blockages through a combination of light touch, therapeutic dialogue, and emotional processing.

At Natural Healthcare Services, we specialize in SER therapy as part of our comprehensive approach to natural healthcare. Our experienced therapists work closely with clients to identify areas of tension and emotional holding patterns within the body, facilitating their release and allowing the body to heal naturally.


How Does Somato Emotional Release Therapy Work?

During an SER session at Natural Healthcare Services, the therapist uses gentle touch to assess the craniosacral system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and surrounding membranes. The therapist may identify areas where emotional trauma has been stored within the tissues, such as the fascia (the connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs).

Through subtle physical manipulation and a collaborative dialogue with the client, the therapist encourages the release of these stored emotions. Clients may experience sensations such as warmth, tingling, or emotional relief as the body lets go of the trauma. This process not only alleviates physical symptoms but also brings emotional clarity and mental peace.


Benefits of Somato Emotional Release Therapy at Natural Healthcare Services

Somato Emotional Release Therapy offers a wide range of benefits for individuals seeking holistic healing. Some of the key benefits include:

  1. Relief from Chronic Pain

    • Many people with chronic pain conditions, such as back pain, migraines, or joint pain, find that emotional trauma is a contributing factor. By addressing the underlying emotional causes, SER can provide lasting relief from physical pain.
  2. Emotional Healing

    • SER helps individuals process and release unresolved emotions, including grief, anger, fear, and anxiety. This emotional release leads to a greater sense of mental and emotional well-being.
  3. Improved Stress Management

    • By freeing the body from stored emotional tension, clients experience reduced stress levels. This leads to improved relaxation, better sleep, and enhanced overall health.
  4. Enhanced Mind-Body Connection

    • Somato Emotional Release Therapy deepens the awareness of how emotions impact the physical body. Clients gain valuable insights into their emotional patterns and learn how to better manage their emotional health moving forward.
  5. Trauma Recovery

    • SER is particularly effective for individuals recovering from trauma, whether it be physical trauma from an accident or surgery, or emotional trauma such as abuse or loss. It provides a safe space for the body and mind to heal together.
