The Somatic Release Process is a gentle yet powerful way of brining conscious awareness into the holding patterns of the body. By truly showing up within one’s experience through non-judgmental presence, we create the conditions for old imprints to softly release their grip.

The presence of awareness has a way of transforming conditioned patterns, and supports digesting and dissolving unprocessed emotions, traumas and beliefs from the inside out.

As these are felt clients move into resource states – like Joy, Calm, Power or Safety. Sometimes clients began to have felt-sense experiences of states of being they’d never felt before – like feeling at home in their bodies.

Generally, it begins with a discussion on what the client would like to ‘meet’ or resolve.

Through that discussion an intention and access point is agreed upon. 

An example of an access point is the focus that the client holds at the beginning of the Somatic Release Process – it might be a memory from the past that still contains emotional charge that the client would like to digest, or a belief. Sometimes it’s an archetype that the client would like to embody. There are many ways we can step into the somatic release process.

Once the access point has been identified, the practitioner guides the client to simply notice and feel whatever is present in the body. 

Through this process of simply staying with whatever is present, the client is guided into a supported devouring, digestion and dissolved of whatever mental/emotional tension or trauma shows up by truly allowing oneself to feel what is arising. 

Sometimes there is also a completion of long-held tension in the nervous system.

An important part of the somatic release process is to let go of any outcome, and to simply be with whatever is showing up. 

The Somatic Release Process is an exploration and acknowledgement of the client’s psychic landscape.

Being seen held, and witnessed with loving-awareness can be challenging AND profoundly healing. 

Once the client has moved into a Resourced State, the Process is brought to completion.

Completion includes reviewing what arose during the process – what beliefs or protective mechanisms might have been present, reflections on anything else worth noting.
