I've seen a somatic therapist tho don't know if "somatic experiencing" is what it was called. S/he used touch, almost all touch, with some talk alongside. I never thought that I'd like it, but it was great. Kinda like magic. S/he just knew somehow where to put her/his hands, where in my body I was feeling things, and held her/his hands still & gently. I'd go into a traumatic experience while s/he guided me thru, sorta reliving it but with a better outcome. Then we'd go over what happened, how to do it on my own, & what we'd do the next time.
I wish that I could have stayed with it. I have a regular T so this was for something extra. In the end, I had to stop, but we did more in a shorter time without talking much.
