Somatization can look like frequent headaches, stomachaches, weight loss, weight gain, or fatigue. The physical symptoms are not only uncomfortable but can be frustrating, without any medical respite.
Art therapists for somatization help clients identify when mental health symptoms appear as physical manifestations. They encourage clients to explore how their bodies feel through mindfulness and relaxation techniques. In therapy for somatization, clients openly talk about their thoughts and feelings with their art therapists, processing through emotional pain or difficult thoughts.
