Created by Peter Levine, Ph.D., this therapy works on the principle that trauma gets trapped in the body
Somatic therapy can help individuals that suffer from a wide range of mental issues such as trauma, stress reduction, grief, depression, migraines, autoimmune disorders and anxiety
Trauma is stored in somatic memory and expressed as changes in the biological stress response.
Rather than just talk about them, somatic therapists guide patients to focus on their underlying physical sensations.
Relational Process-Based Therapy (RPBT) is a contemporary therapeutic approach that integrates principles from various evidence-based therapies, focusing on the relational dynamics between therapist and client. It's rooted in the understanding that our relationships and interactions play a crucial role in our mental health and overall well-being.

At its core, RPBT emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship itself as a healing tool. It draws from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and emotion-focused traditions but is uniquely centered around the processes that occur within the therapeutic relationship. This includes how clients form relationships, how they navigate interpersonal dynamics, and how these patterns influence their experiences and behavior.
Therapists employing RPBT aim to create a safe, empathetic, and genuine connection, fostering an environment where clients can explore and understand their relational patterns and emotional processes. It's about meeting clients where they are, understanding their unique context, and working collaboratively to foster growth and change.
Relational Process-Based Therapy (RPBT) is particularly beneficial for individuals who find that their relational dynamics significantly impact their mental health and well-being. This approach is versatile and can be tailored to various populations, but it's especially effective for:

Relational Process-Based Therapy (RPBT) is particularly beneficial for individuals who find that their relational dynamics significantly impact their mental health and well-being. This approach is versatile and can be tailored to various populations, but it's especially effective for:
1. Individuals with Interpersonal Difficulties: People who struggle with forming or maintaining healthy relationships, experience frequent conflicts, or have difficulties with social interactions can benefit from the focus on relational patterns.
2. Couples and Families: RPBT can be incredibly effective in couple’s therapy or family therapy settings. By understanding and addressing relational processes, it can help improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen emotional bonds.
3. Those with Trauma Histories: Individuals who have experienced trauma often have disrupted relational patterns. RPBT provides a safe space to explore these patterns and work towards healing and healthier relationships.
4. People with Emotional Dysregulation: Those who have difficulty managing their emotions within relationships can learn to understand and regulate their emotional responses more effectively through RPBT.
5. Clients with Attachment Issues: Individuals with insecure attachment styles, whether anxious, avoidant, or disorganized, can find RPBT particularly helpful in developing more secure and fulfilling relationships.
6. General Mental Health Concerns: RPBT can also be beneficial for individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues, as these often have a significant relational component.
In essence, RPBT is a flexible and adaptive therapy that can be molded to fit the unique relational contexts of a wide range of clients. It’s all about enhancing the quality of relationships and, by extension, the quality of life.
