A clinical framework
Each session follows therapeutic principles, not a fitness progression.
Somatic Experiencing® group
Somatic Experiencing® foundational skills, in a therapy group
A gentle, all-levels therapy group led by a licensed psychotherapist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, in person in NYC and online.
Overview
A grounded return to the body
Sessions include gentle movement, guided awareness, and breath. Somatic Experiencing (SE) works with the nervous system rather than against it. In a small group, you practice noticing sensation, settling stress responses, and expanding your capacity to feel.
This is a clinical therapy group, not a class or fitness experience. No prior experience is needed.
What we help with
What the group can support
The group can support people navigating anxiety, the effects of trauma, and the long aftermath of chronic stress. It works well alongside individual therapy, and on its own for building nervous system regulation skills in community.
Being with others doing the same work can itself be steadying. Many people find they feel less alone.
Common concerns
- Anxiety
- Trauma & PTSD
- Chronic stress
- Burnout
- Overthinking
- Trouble resting
- Disconnection
- Life transitions
Who this is for

Questions people ask
Questions about the group
Is the group covered by insurance?
Group therapy led by a licensed therapist is often covered in-network or through out-of-network benefits. Our team verifies your benefits before your first session.
Do I need to be in individual therapy at Repose?
No. The group can stand on its own or complement individual therapy anywhere.
What if I have never done anything like this?
That is welcome. The group is designed for all levels, and every invitation is optional.
Will I have to share personal stories?
No. The focus is on noticing present-moment sensation, not retelling experiences. You share only what you choose.
