The Importance of Somatic Observation
Understanding Somatic Observation

Definition and relevance in coaching.

Somatic observation refers to the practice of being present and attentive to the physical sensations and emotional states that arise in both the coach and the client during a coaching session. 

This approach emphasizes the connection between mind and body, highlighting how physical sensations can often reflect an individual’s emotional landscape. In the context of coaching, this awareness allows the coach to foster a deeper connection with the client, facilitating a more profound understanding of their experiences and challenges. As clients navigate their thoughts and feelings, the coach’s ability to observe and interpret somatic cues can lead to transformative insights and breakthroughs.
