a lot of people use these redundant modifiers like this

you don't need to put -al after -ic because they do the same thing

spatial - because spatic would be confusing and weird

circumstantial - because circumstantic would be weird

somatic - because somatal would sound weird

-al and -ic are both modifiers that turn a noun into an adjective. soma means body and somatic means "of a/the body", space means, you know... and spatial means "of space"

there is some cases where people are using -ical as well, but this is an illusion that the -ic was a noun modifier. magic is an example. you use -al to change it into an adjective because it already ends in -ic.

another one that people often misuse is semantic. semantic is already an adjective, though it is also a noun at the same time, depending on context. you don't often here anyone saying "semantical" because semantic does already work as an adjective, when paired with a noun. and further, "semantics" is the normal way to use the word, because meaning is rarely singular. a bit like how the word semantic itself has two contextual meanings.

oh yes, somatically is a valid way to form the adverb, in this case used in context with "feeling" which is a verb.

you don't say psychical, becaues psychic already is an adjective, but again like semantic also is a noun in context (really it has a fleeting noun "person", you call someone a psychic, and they have psychic abilities, you see that it serves as noun and verb in a different context, one with an article, one with a verb (to be - have is the past tense).

super well hid form of therapy- just means to bring the mind back into coherence with the body; being able to decipher the language of the body using the mind/mind’s eye.

very effective in trauma recovery type of work.

how does trauma recovery even work? ever performed or taught it?

well thats truly different for everyone.

yes and yes. 🙂‍↕️

somatic therapy exercises have changed my life and many of my client’s lives too.

i thought about sharing more on here… but the truth is, it’s so simple, most people wouldn’t believe it or even try it. also, it is ALWAYS better in person.

i'd be interested in learning more about it

feel free to dm me ☀️ curious to learn more
