Questions people ask
What is somatic therapy?
Somatic therapy explores the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and physical experiences. Sessions combine conversation with body awareness and practical tools to support nervous system regulation.
What happens during a session?
We’ll talk about what brings you in and may explore grounding, gentle movement, breathing, or noticing sensations. Your needs and comfort guide the session.
Does somatic therapy involve touch?
Touch is not required. Any proposed touch would be explained beforehand and would require your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
Will I have to talk about my trauma?
You choose what you share and when. We can begin with your present experiences and coping skills, and you can pause or decline any activity.
What if focusing on my body feels uncomfortable?
Let us know, and we’ll adjust. We may focus on your surroundings, use conversation, or try another approach that feels more manageable.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to sit and move easily.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies depending on your goals and needs. We’ll check in regularly about what’s helping and decide on next steps together.
