This chart is designed to be used a a guideline. Humans are complex beings. Each body has their own story. To be used at your own discretion, in conjunction with people’s lived experience. We enter the body with curiousity to learn and never assume. This chart is not a replacement for Therapy or Medical diagnosis. It is not a certification in Somatic Therapy or to be used to practice as a Somatic Therapist. It is designed as an aid for people looking to live more somatically and aligned wiht thier body, or by practitioners who are looking to lean towards a more holistic approach.
In the chart I refer to each side of the body as yin/yang, being/doing. Some modalities will gender the sides Feminine/Masculine, associated to what society deem acceptable and aligned with each gender. As humans, we are complex beings and every emotion/feeling/sensation/action should be accessible to everyone. Gendering in this way can hinder people and enforce Colonial belief systems.
