10 Signs You Might Be Ready…

You’re not broken, but you are tired.

Tired of holding it all and keeping your shit together. Tired of pushing down the parts of you that feel too messy, too emotional, too much.

Here are 10 gentle signs that somatic therapy might be the next step in your healing.

1. You’ve done talk therapy — but your body still reacts the same way.

You’ve gained insight, but when stress hits, your shoulders still tense, your heart still races, your system still shuts down.

2. You often feel like you’re living from the neck up.

Disconnected from your body. Going through the motions. Like something’s missing, but you can’t quite reach it.

3. You feel everything — or nothing at all.

You’re either flooded by emotion, or numb and flat. There’s rarely a middle ground.

4. You hold it all together for everyone else but inside, you feel like you’re falling apart.

You’re the strong one. The helper. But it’s costing you. And you’re ready to be held.

5. You feel stuck in cycles you can’t talk or think yourself out of.

You know the pattern. You know the “why.” But it still happens — again and again.

6. You’re exhausted. Not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually.

It’s not just tiredness. It’s depletion. You’re running on empty.

7. You crave depth not more tools or fixes.

You want to feel real, lasting change. You want to come back home to yourself.

8. You’re highly sensitive but you’ve learned to numb it out.

Maybe you rely on coffee to get you going in the morning and keep you pushing through the day. Maybe wine helps you unwind and switch off. You might even indulge in the occasional joint. Or perhaps you watch back to back episodes just to fall asleep.

9. You long to feel safe and comfortable inside your own skin.

Not just “cope” or “function.” You want to truly feel okay in your body. In your life. To be comfortable in the quiet moments.

10. You’re ready to stop holding everything alone.

Even if you’re scared. Even if you don’t know what healing looks like… There’s a part of you whispering, “It’s time.”

And that’s enough to begin.

Somatic psychotherapy doesn’t rush you.
It doesn’t shame you.
It meets you right where you are — gently, steadily — so your body can begin to soften, unwind, and trust again.

Because healing isn’t about fixing what’s wrong with you. It’s about reconnecting to your truth, to what’s been right underneath the survival patterns all this time.
