How to Find an Experienced Somatic Therapist


If you're interested in releasing trauma through somatic therapy, finding an experienced therapist can be an essential part of the healing process. Here are some tips on how to find a therapist who can help you on your journey:

  1. Research different therapists: Start by doing some research on somatic therapists in your area. Look for therapists who specialize in the specific type of trauma you've experienced, whether it's physical, emotional, or sexual.

  2. Check their qualifications: Make sure the therapist you're considering is qualified to practice somatic therapy. Look for credentials that are trauma informed as well as their experience and contributions to the field.

  3. Read reviews: Read reviews from previous clients to get an idea of their experiences with the therapist. Look for reviews that mention the therapist's ability to help with trauma release and their approach to somatic therapy.

  4. Ask for recommendations: Ask for recommendations from friends or family members who have undergone somatic therapy themselves. They may be able to recommend a therapist who they've had a positive experience with.

  5. Schedule a consultation: Once you've found a potential therapist, schedule a consultation to get to know them and their approach to somatic therapy. This can help you determine if they're a good fit for you and if you feel comfortable working with them. You can book a call in with me here.


Somatic therapy and trauma release work are powerful modalities that can help individuals release deep-seated trauma and physical tension from their bodies. However, it is important to work with an experienced practitioner when engaging in this type of therapy. Here are some reasons why:

  1. Deeply Held and Felt Safety: Somatic therapy and trauma release work can be intense and emotionally challenging. An experienced practitioner will create a safe and supportive environment for the client to explore their trauma and emotions, and will be trained to manage any unexpected or difficult reactions.

  2. Specific Knowledge from Experience and Expertise: An experienced practitioner will have a deep understanding of the body, the nervous system, and the complex interplay between the two. They will be able to guide the client through the process of releasing trauma and physical tension in a way that is both safe and effective.

  3. A Personalized Approach to Your Unique Situation: Each person's experience of trauma is unique, and an experienced practitioner will be able to tailor their approach to meet the specific needs of the client. They will be able to draw from a range of techniques and tools to create a personalized healing plan that is right for the individual.

  4. Continued Support and a Clear Healing Container: Healing trauma is not a one-time event, and it is important to have ongoing support as the body and mind continue to process the release of trauma. An experienced practitioner will provide ongoing support and guidance to help the client navigate the healing journey.

In conclusion, working with an experienced practitioner is essential when engaging in somatic therapy and trauma release work. It provides the client with a safe, effective, and personalized approach to healing trauma and releasing physical tension from the body. By working with an experienced practitioner, individuals can experience profound healing and transformation that can positively impact all areas of their life.
