SomaFIT Methodology
The Four SomaFIT Assessments
Each assessment reveals a different part of how the system organizes around safety.
1. Baseline
Where the system is now
The starting map
2. Protection Patterns
How the system leaves itself
What activates at the edge
3. Safety Roles
How the person learned to stay safe with others
The relational survival strategy
4. Whole Body
Where the body has been carrying the impact
The long-term cost map

What it Shows
|
The person’s current state before activation. | How the system leaves itself when activation rises. | How the person learned to stay safe in relationship. | Where the body has been carrying the long-term impact. |
|
What it Reveals
|
Current level of connection, tension, capacity, regulation, breath, urgency, and overall nervous system state. | The automatic patterns the nervous system uses to manage stress, threat, or intensity. | The relational strategies formed early to avoid disconnection, maintain attachment, and stay emotionally safe with others. | How unresolved stress, protection, and dysregulation have shown up in the body and nervous system over time. |
|
Where We Catch It
|
At the beginning and end of the work, and briefly at the start of every session — to see what has shifted. | In real time at the edge — when the system starts to leave sensation or connection. | Relationally, at the edge — when the role shows up in the relationship with the facilitator. | In the body — the areas that tighten, shut down, flare, collapse, or disconnect under activation. |
