Somatic forgiveness refers to the process of releasing physical tension, pain, or trauma from the body as part of forgiving oneself or others. The term "somatic" relates to the body, and in this context, it highlights the connection between emotional experiences—such as hurt, anger, or resentment—and how these emotions are stored or manifested in the body. Somatic forgiveness involves practices that help individuals become aware of, express, and let go of these embodied feelings, often through techniques such as mindful movement, breathwork, body awareness exercises, or therapeutic touch. By addressing forgiveness on a physical level, somatic forgiveness supports holistic healing and emotional well-being.
