Somatic therapy without body mindfulness?

When a client struggles to access body awareness, double downing on somatic techniques can feel like a demand. Exploring what happens when 'I don't know' opens a gap between therapist and client, this episode looks at moving from an internal report to a relational perspective. By tracking external cues and the therapist’s own embodiment, we stay present with personal change as a living process. I offer two courses to help therapists develop the skills and embodied presence to practice Focusing-oriented therapy at the living edge of experience.
