This article explores the opportunities for client and therapist when somatic therapies and psychotherapy are brought together. Through a case study I illustrate how understandings and interventions from Intersubjective Self Psychology, Somatic Experiencing®, and Integral Somatic Psychology™ all supported the client’s emergence from profoundly somatised childhood traumatic loss, allowing them to restore thwarted developmental processes, rebuild affect tolerance, process their grief, and inhabit their life in new ways. I explicate how a deeply embodied psychotherapeutic relationship, where the conversations between the client and therapist’s bodies are held at the centre of the therapeutic relationship, can support reducing client re-traumatisation in therapy, meet early developmental needs, re-link affective layers allowing somatic and psychological (re)integration. I also explore the impact on, and possibilities for, the therapist of combining somatics and psychotherapeutic principles and techniques.
