I think you've succeeded in making a compassionate online platform, and that's energizing, especially coming from a country where the waiting lists in therapy are soul-drainingly long.Anonymous client in Copenhagen
I hope there will be more platforms like It's complicated - humane, humble, honest, and nourishing.Anonymous client in Berlin
Great way to connect and keep in contact with ones therapist! Easy to use, good video connection and easy to send questions about availability or share documents.Anonymous client
I'm really happy with the platform. After leaving an abusive relationship, I found a therapist here for myself, and also one for my daughter. I've recommended the site to multiple friends.Anonymous client

Somatic experiencing and its applications
Somatic Experiencing (SE) therapy emerges as a profound approach in psychotherapy, recognised for its effectiveness in addressing trauma and stress-related disorders. Grounded in the understanding of the body's innate capacity to heal, SE focuses on restoring balance to the nervous system and releasing stored trauma energy. Therapists, trained in somatic experiencing guide individuals through a gentle and experiential process to renegotiate traumatic experiences and build resilience. By reconnecting with bodily sensations and promoting self-regulation, SE empowers individuals to overcome symptoms such as anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain, and more.
How somatic experiencing works
At the heart of Somatic Experiencing lies the principle of titration, wherein therapists help clients explore sensations related to traumatic experiences in manageable doses. Through mindfulness and gentle inquiry, individuals learn to track bodily sensations and discharge trapped energy associated with trauma. SE incorporates techniques such as pendulation, which involves oscillating between the experience of safety and activation, to facilitate nervous system regulation. Additionally, therapists may employ touch or movement to support the release of somatic tension and promote integration.
Is somatic experiencing right for you?
While SE offers a unique and holistic approach to trauma healing, its suitability depends on individual needs and preferences. Consider SE if you're seeking a body-oriented therapy that honours the connection between mind and body, and if you're open to exploring somatic sensations as part of the healing process. Somatic Experiencing can be particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced traumatic events or struggle with symptoms of dysregulation. Consulting with a qualified SE therapist can provide valuable insights into whether this approach aligns with your therapeutic goals. In summary, Somatic Experiencing represents a compassionate and effective pathway to healing trauma and restoring well-being.

Why and How to Listen to Your Body
“The body has its own non-conceptual intelligence, so often overlooked or devalued in the face of conceptual intelligence. The body knows when it is hungry, when it needs to move, what it needs to thrive. It communicates wisdom that comes through feeling and present-moment experience. When we lose the body, we lose connections to truths
