Somatic Therapy FAQs
🧘♀️ What is an example of a somatic practice?
A simple example of a somatic practice is grounding through breathwork. This might include focusing on your inhale and exhale while bringing awareness to sensations in your body—like the feeling of your feet on the ground or the rhythm of your heartbeat. Other examples include progressive muscle relaxation, vagus nerve activation, body scans, or gentle movements like Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE). You’ll find many of these beautifully simplified in our Somatic Awareness Flashcards and Polyvagal Theory Workbooks—all designed to be accessible, calming, and easy to follow.
🤔 What are the criticisms of somatic therapy?
While somatic therapy has gained popularity for its trauma-informed, body-based approach, some criticisms include:
- Because somatic practices vary widely, outcomes can depend heavily on the skill and approach of the practitioner.
- Though many clients report transformation, some somatic modalities still require more empirical research.
- Somatic work can bring up deep, stored trauma. It’s important to proceed gently and ideally with support. That’s why all TherapyWithCT somatic resources are intentionally designed with simple language, trauma sensitivity, and self-paced guidance in mind.
🧠 What is the difference between somatic therapy and CBT?
Great question!
focuses on thoughts, behaviours, and logic-based reappraisal—it’s “top-down,” aiming to shift patterns through conscious reasoning.
Somatic Therapy, on the other hand, is “bottom-up.” It prioritises body awareness, helping you tune into physical sensations, nervous system cues, and emotional states held in the body.
At TherapyWithCT, we often combine the strengths of both, such as with our Somatic Awareness Journal Prompts (body-focused) and Cognitive Distortion Flashcards (CBT-based), for a more holistic healing experience.
🌱 What is somatic therapy used for?
Somatic therapy is used to process trauma, regulate the nervous system, and promote emotional balance. It's especially helpful for people navigating:
- PTSD or C-PTSD
- Anxiety and chronic stress
- Dissociation or emotional numbness
- Digestive and sleep dysregulation
- Body-based symptoms of trauma
Resources like our Polyvagal Workbooks, Trauma & Somatic Flashcards, and TRE Exercise Sets make these therapeutic techniques approachable and effective—whether you're working solo or in a professional setting.
