It is strongly advised that you begin somatic treatment with the assistance of a qualified therapist. This will allow you to tailor your treatment to your unique experience, emotions, and symptoms. If any unexpected feelings arise, it may also feel safer. A therapist is trained and focuses on providing a safe space for you, according to Peter Levine. However, if you do somatic exercises with a therapist for a long period, you may become connected to them and believe they are the only place you feel completely safe. That's why, according to Levine, therapists should teach techniques and exercises that might help you feel comfortable on your own. In light of the foregoing, here are some somatic therapy exercises you might want to try at home: Grounding, Resourcing and visualization, Self-regulation, and Body scans.
