Somatic therapy recognizes that serial killers is stored and expressed in the body — and that healing requires attention to bodily experience, not just thoughts.
The Somatic Perspective on Serial Killers
Traditional talk therapy addresses serial killers primarily through cognition. Somatic approaches add the body's wisdom:
- Serial Killers creates physical tension, postural patterns, and nervous system states that maintain it
- The body 'keeps the score' — especially when serial killers has trauma origins
- Bottom-up (body to mind) processing can access material unavailable to cognitive approaches
