What does "politicised somatics" mean?

Button

Politicised Somatics is a practice and theory of embodied transformation that aligns values with action, deepens our capacity to feel and connect, and sustains change through body, thought, and emotion. What are you practising, and is it aligned with what you care about? Since history, institutions, and community continually shape us, transformation must be understood within its social context to move toward collective liberation. h/t generative somatics

How is somatic coaching different from the "psy" disciplines?

Button

Somatic methods help clients move beyond cognitive insight, which talk therapy may provide. Being aware of our past or our patterns doesn’t always shift how we feel or act. Somatic work aims to bring about an embodied shift. Somatic coaching doesn’t diagnose people as disordered or diseased. Nor is the coaching process viewed as a form of treatment. Though if clients feel getting a diagnosis from “psy” experts empowers them, we fully honour that.
