Somatic Movement Reintegration
Somatic = of the body. Using the word somatic is an invitation to explore our body in movement from the inside out by noticing sensations and noting our awareness.
Movement Reintegration in the context of functional movement reintegration involves body conditioning by balancing stability and mobility while regaining trust and confidence in our body at any age. In the context of healing and recovery, reintegration involves gradually reclaiming aspects of one's identity, behaviors, and sense of self that may have been disrupted or disconnected due to difficult experiences. Through the practice of noticing while re-engaging with one's body, we might have the opportunity to safely acknowledge emotions, building confidence to re-engage with relationships, or society after a period of isolation or dissociation.
Trauma-informed and trauma-sensitive movement practices focus on mindful noticing by encouraging individuals to observe their body and sensations without any pressure for specific outcomes. This approach allows individuals to engage with their body if they choose, at their own pace, fostering a sense of safety and awareness as they explore being in their body.
