Question 1

What are Somatic Experiencing and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy?

Accepted Answer

Seeing two names come up can be confusing. Somatic Experiencing and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy are the two somatic trainings named most often, and they differ in method. Asking which one a therapist uses is a fair question. On Alma, read profiles of therapists in Piscataway who list somatic therapy and compare how they describe it.

Question 2

What do the first somatic sessions involve?

The start can feel uncertain, so it helps to know it is usually gentle. First sessions tend to cover what brings you in and what helps you feel steady before anything harder. A therapist can walk you through their first few sessions. Browse therapists in Piscataway on Alma who offer somatic therapy and ask when you reach out.

Question 3

Will a somatic therapist use touch?

On Alma, read profiles of therapists in Piscataway who offer somatic therapy and put the question to them when you reach out.

Question 4

What should I ask about a therapist's somatic therapy training?
