Feeling Out of Body — Grounding & Somatic Practices for Dissociation

Reconnect With Yourself, Regain a Sense of Safety, and Feel Present Again

Do you ever feel detached from your body, like you’re watching life happen from the outside? Dissociation is a common response to trauma, anxiety, or overwhelming stress—and while it’s your nervous system’s way of protecting you, it can leave you feeling disconnected, numb, or unable to stay grounded in the present moment. This service is designed to help you gently come back to yourself through evidence-based somatic practices, grounding techniques, and nervous system regulation strategies.

Who This Service Is For
This service is supportive for:
- Individuals experiencing dissociation, depersonalization, or derealization
- People with trauma histories, PTSD, or complex stress responses
- Veterans and service members adjusting to civilian life
- Those navigating chronic anxiety, panic attacks, or emotional overwhelm
- Anyone feeling “out of body,” disconnected, or unable to stay grounded

Who Will Benefit
Clients who often feel spaced out, detached, or unsafe in their bodies will find this service especially helpful. It is also beneficial for those who:
- Experience brain fog, memory gaps, or difficulty concentrating
- Struggle with emotional dysregulation, irritability, or sudden mood swings
- Live with chronic stress, burnout, or a sense of being “on edge”
- Want to rebuild trust and safety within their own body

Benefits of This Service
- Reconnect with your body and emotions safely
- Improve focus, memory, and mental clarity
- Reduce dissociative episodes and feelings of detachment
- Feel more calm, grounded, and present in daily life
- Strengthen your ability to self-soothe and regulate stress
- Support nervous system balance to reduce anxiety and overwhelm

What to Expect
In each session, we’ll work together using gentle, body-based approaches to help you feel grounded and safe. You may be guided through simple breathwork, mindful movement, and grounding exercises that reestablish the mind-body connection. These practices are accessible, trauma-informed, and designed to meet you exactly where you are. Sessions are paced with care, ensuring you feel supported while building practical tools you can use anytime dissociation arises.

Why Choose This Service
What makes this service unique is its blend of trauma-informed care with practical somatic techniques that move beyond talk therapy alone. Instead of only analyzing experiences, you’ll learn to reconnect with your body, regulate your nervous system, and create lasting patterns of safety and presence. This integrative approach offers both immediate relief and long-term resilience.
