Somatic Therapy
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honourably.
He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.

Unlocking Healing Virtually: The Effectiveness of Online Somatic Therapy
Somatic therapy can work seamlessly when conducted online. While traditional in-person therapy sessions may involve physical touch or proximity, somatic therapy can still be impactful in an online format.
During online somatic therapy sessions, therapists can guide clients through various techniques, such as mindfulness, breathwork, gentle movement, and body-centered awareness, using video conferencing platforms. Clients can still explore bodily sensations, track emotional experiences, and process trauma from the comfort of their own environment.
Research has shown that online therapy, including somatic therapy, can be just as effective as in-person therapy for many individuals. It offers convenience, accessibility, and flexibility, allowing clients to receive support from a qualified therapist without the need for travel or scheduling conflicts.
However, the effectiveness of online somatic therapy may vary depending on individual preferences, comfort levels with technology, and the specific therapeutic approach used. It's essential to work with a skilled therapist who is experienced in providing online therapy and can adapt somatic techniques to the virtual environment effectively.
