This mind-body connection is the missing link in many traditional mental health treatments. While talk therapy and medications can be beneficial, integrating somatic (body-based) practices helps individuals regulate their nervous systems, release stored trauma, and build resilience. Healing is not just about thinking differently—it’s about feeling differently in your body. The mind-body connection is a powerful gateway to deeper healing, resilience, and well-being. By integrating somatic practices into mental health treatment, we can create a more holistic and sustainable approach to healing.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can feel overwhelming even after significant treatment with traditional mental health supports. Sometimes the psychical symptoms of trauma, anxiety and panic can be debilitating even when clients are doing great work in therapy. This is because the physical symptoms that many people experience with trauma is biological in nature. Traditional mental health counseling support many aspects of recovery and healing, but is sometimes unable to bring enough healing to these biologically rooted symptoms. One of the most effective treatments Nourish has seen for the treatment of PTSD is the Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB). The SGB is a safe and innovative procedure that has shown great results in reducing the physical symptoms of trauma, anxiety and pain that can impact quality of life and overall functioning for many people. Symptoms such as panic attacks, hyperarousal , sleep issues, muscle tension, GI issues, fatigue and increased heart rate.
