Compassionate Inquiry is a unique kind of therapy that focuses not just on your thoughts and emotions, but also on what’s happening in your brain and body.

“Somatic” means “of the body,” and this approach is all about recognizing that our bodies as well as nervous system store experiences—especially stress and trauma—even when our minds try to move on.

Think about how your shoulders tense up when you’re stressed or how your stomach feels tight when you’re anxious.

Somatic therapy helps you tune into those physical signals and gently work through them. It’s not just talking about your problems—it’s feeling through them.
