I had no idea people were using somatic work in this way. It’s horrible that people who could truly benefit from this work might think that these diluted down, terribly skewed “versions” of it is the real deal and that’s all there is. I’ve been doing somatic meditations for the past year and found it to be so powerful, but I also have a trauma therapist to monitor and temper my overall experience. You’re so right that promoting it in this way is grossly misleading and opportunistic at best and outright dangerous at worst.
