The approach

What is somatic therapy?

Therapy that works through physical sensation, breath, posture, tension, tremor, on the premise that trauma is held in the nervous system and doesn't always respond to insight alone. Somatic Experiencing and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy are the main trainings. It's often chosen by people who understand their history perfectly well and still find their body reacting as if nothing has changed.

Before you book

What to check before booking somatic therapy

The questions that separate a good fit from an expensive false start. Ask them before the first paid session, not after.

  1. 1

    Check the specific training

    Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy are multi-year certifications. Ask which one and at what level.

  2. 2

    Ask how it translates to video

    A good somatic therapist can work over video by directing your attention to your own sensation. Ask them to explain how they do it before you book.

  3. 3

    Go slowly and say so

    This work can bring on strong physical responses. A competent therapist will set a pace and a stop signal in the first session.
