Does somatic/body-centered therapy include “touching”?
Somatic psychotherapy may involve the use of touch, but only with your written and verbal permission. Our policy is to describe what the use of touch may involve, for example, holding a hand, and ask for permission at that specific moment. We will always respect your refusal We do not allow any sexual or inappropriate physical touch. Clinicians and clients are required to be fully-clothed at all times.
