Embrace your Latitude

With respect to mental health, “somatic” refers to the connection between the mind and body. When we think of symptoms, there are cognitive, physical, and emotional manifestations. They typically co-occur; though, we may only be cognizant of one. Mitigating symptoms may prove challenging without recognizing that not only do they exist simultaneously, but also the relationship each has with one another. EMDR is a popular form of somatic therapy. 

 
“Latitude” refers to freedom to choose. Thus, I selected the name “Somatic Latitude” to depict an individual's autonomy to navigate symptoms, self-empowerment, and improve mental health.
