Somatic Compass presents:

Somatic Pulse

Customizable bilateral stimulation with somatic reflection built into the session.

An eco-somatic–inspired EMDR tool that brings customizable BLS and in-session somatic reflection into one continuous experience. When somatic material feels unclear, repetitive, or stuck, therapists can consider Phase 4 support without leaving active BLS.

Somatic Reflection during BLS

Clinical support without leaving active BLS.

Organize what is emerging somatically and consider whether support fits—while BLS remains available. Close Reflection at any point and return directly to processing.

Possibilities, not conclusions. Therapist assessment and judgment remain central.
Interface example · BLS remains activeWhat are you noticing?

Select a body area only if it helps. Begin with observable or client-reported cues—not an interpretation.

Consider inviting: “If the tension in your head or face had a voice, what might it say?” If something emerges: “Notice that—and go with that.” Return to BLS.
