Soma Circuit
For Therapists

A Polyvagal App to Recommend Between Sessions

A clinician-built tool for
between-session practice.

A practical resource for psychologists, psychotherapists, counsellors, GPs and bodyworkers who want to recommend a steady, body-first app — and recommend it well.

A quiet companion to your work.

Built to support the work —
not become it.

A between-session educational tool. No dashboard. No data relationship.

What it is

  • A clinician-built, polyvagal-informed audio app
  • For between-session nervous-system regulation practice
  • Body-first: breath, orientation, sound, gentle movement
  • An educational wellness tool

What it isn't

  • Not therapy, assessment, diagnosis or treatment
  • Not a crisis service
  • Not a clinician dashboard or client-data portal
  • Not a medical device
Suggested use

How clients tend to
use it well.

Field notes from clinicians already using Soma Circuit with their clients. Short practice. Gentle noticing. Something to bring back.

01
Daily, briefly

One short practice for the state that fits today.

Encourage one practice in a state that fits the body that day — not a long sequence on Sunday. Short, consistent practice beats long, occasional effort.

Around the session

Before or after our work.

A grounding practice on the way to a session, or a settling one on the way home. The app doesn't replace the session — it bookends it.

In the day

When the body asks.

Before a meeting, after a difficult call, when waking at 4am. The three-state model is designed to be useable in moments, not just rituals.

In review

Bring noticing back to the session.

Ask what the client is observing about their state across a week. The most useful thing the app generates isn't a score — it's something to notice.

Practice the return.

Recommendation scripts

Wording that is ready
when you are.

Three contexts. Lift them as written or rewrite in your voice.

Cautions

Where it isn't the right tool.

Please share with clients

Stop a practice if it feels overwhelming. Orient to the room, name three things you can see, contact a trusted person.

  • Don't use Soma Circuit while driving or operating machinery.
  • Don't use it as the only support during acute crisis.
  • Don't use it in place of contacting your therapist, GP or crisis service.

Clear boundaries are part of good care.
