Description
The Art of Somatic Coaching explores the connection between body and mind in coaching practices. Richard Strozzi-Heckler explains that to achieve lasting change, somatic approaches are necessary to dissolve outdated habits and behaviors. Somatic Coaching views the body as central to our lived experience, rather than just a physiological entity. This philosophy emerged from the idea that the mind and body are separate, leading to feelings of disconnection. The book describes how this sense of disconnection can have emotional and physical costs. Methods included in the book are somatic awareness, somatic opening, and somatic practices such as meditation, movement, and mindfulness. These practices aim to cultivate self-awareness through the body, acknowledging the impact of our surroundings, upbringing, and nature on our well-being.
