Douglas Smith is a skilled therapist specializing in body psychotherapy, a practice that emphasizes the significance of the body in the therapeutic process. He believes that body psychotherapy is not solely focused on emotional or psychological issues but rather on the holistic connection between the body and these concerns. In his approach, the mind transforms into a useful tool for accessing the body's deep resources instead of being the initial starting point for therapy. Douglas helps clients tap into their body awareness, which naturally slows down physiological activity and channels excess mental energy towards a calmer, more regulated physical state. By honing body awareness, clients can deepen their presence and conscious engagement with their body, which empowers them to navigate situations that typically provoke negative responses. Through somatic therapy sessions, Douglas supports individuals in developing these skills and identifies personalized strategies to address their unique challenges.
