If you have been curious about somatic therapy but something keeps stopping you — fear of what might come up, fear of remembering something you have buried, fear of falling apart, or fear that you are simply too far gone to heal — this episode is for you. In this final episode of the What is Somatic Therapy series, Dr. Christine Baker names the four most common fears she hears from clients and listeners about beginning somatic work, addresses each one directly, and offers a gentle consent-based practice for taking one small step toward your body today. 💡 IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Why fear of starting somatic therapy is actually a sign of an intelligent nervous system — not weakness Why somatic therapy is not memory recovery work and what it actually is What really happens when something surfaces in a somatic session and why your body can be trusted Why emotions are not actually bottomless and what makes them feel that way Why trying other things and still struggling is not evidence that healing is not available to you A gentle consent-based practice called The Threshold for taking one small step toward your own body 😨 THE FOUR FEARS ADDRESSED IN THIS EPISODE: Fear of what might come up in my body Fear of remembering something I have blocked out Fear of starting to feel and not being able to stop — ending up more broken at the end Fear that it will not work — that I am too broken to heal ✨ THE THRESHOLD PRACTICE: A consent-based somatic practice built entirely around your pace and your body's wisdom — no right outcome, no destination, just one small step toward your own physical experience and learning to trust what your nervous system tells you. 💬 Which of these four fears resonates most with you? Drop it in the comments. I read every single one and I would love to know what landed for you in this episode. 🔍 ABOUT DR.
