Soma is the body as experienced from the inside.
Not the body on a chart, not the body as an object on the table — the living sense of being in it. In 📝Somatic Practice that inside view is the subject of the work. The word is a description, not a diagnosis, not a spiritual claim, and not a requirement to feel everything. Some days the inside view is thin; the practice is small.
Clients feel the difference between being looked at and looking from. If going inside floods, the work orients out. Persistent distress is a referral; this is not psychotherapy.
