Narrative Therapy and Somatic Processing

Rewrite your story. Reset your nervous system.

Trauma is not just a memory — it lives in your body and shapes the story you tell yourself about who you are.

Narrative Therapy and Somatic Processing help you make sense of what you have lived through while calming the body that has been carrying it.

At The Well Counseling & Consultation PLLC, these two approaches work together to help veterans, active duty, police, fire, EMS, nurses, dispatchers, and their families heal from the inside out.

What This Approach Is in Simple Terms

Narrative Therapy helps you
• Make sense of your story
• Separate your identity from trauma
• Reclaim meaning, purpose, and direction
• Shift from “what happened to me” to “who I am becoming”

Somatic Processing helps your body
• Release stored tension and survival responses
• Calm fight, flight, or freeze
• Reduce hypervigilance and shutdown
• Feel grounded, centered, and safe again

You heal through both story and sensation.

Why It Fits Warriors and First Responders

Your experiences are intense.
Your training teaches you to keep moving.
Your body keeps the score even when your mind pushes forward.

This combined approach supports people who

• Feel stuck in old stories or labels
• Carry guilt, shame, or moral injury
• Have tension, anger, or numbness they cannot explain
• React physically even when they “know better”
• Want deeper healing than talk therapy alone

You get tools for the mind and the nervous system.

What Sessions Look Like

• We explore the story you tell yourself about your past, your identity, and your future
• We notice how your body responds — tightness, heat, numbness, shaking, heaviness
• We use grounding, breath work, movement, and guided awareness to release the stored stress
• We reshape your personal narrative into one rooted in strength, purpose, and truth

You stay in control the entire time.
No pressure. No forced disclosure. No judgment.

What This Work Helps With

• Trauma and PTSD
• Moral injury
• Anger, irritability, and emotional shutdown
• Anxiety and hypervigilance
• Identity confusion after service or high stress careers
• Grief, loss, and unresolved memories
• Chronic stress, tension, or body based symptoms

If it affects your story or your body, this approach can help.
