Somatic Therapy Emergency Contact Form

Somatic Therapy Emergency Contact Form: Trauma-Informed Client Safety

For somatic therapists, mental health professionals, and bodywork practitioners, understanding a client's emergency contacts, body awareness, and trauma responses is essential for providing safe, effective care. This Somatic Therapy Emergency Contact Form helps you collect crucial information about emergency contacts, touch boundaries, body-stored trauma, and grounding techniques—all in one compassionate, trauma-informed intake.

Built for therapists, counselors, trauma specialists, and wellness practitioners who integrate body-based modalities, this template goes beyond standard contact forms. It captures the nuanced information needed for somatic work: how clients experience their bodies, what touch feels safe, where they hold tension or trauma, and which grounding techniques work best for them.

Why This Template Works for Somatic Practitioners

Whether you're a somatic experiencing practitioner, trauma therapist, or holistic wellness provider, this form helps you:

• Establish safety from session one by documenting touch consent boundaries and body awareness levels
• Prepare for crisis situations with complete emergency contact details and preferred support persons
• Understand trauma patterns by mapping where clients experience body-stored stress and tension
• Personalize your approach using information about effective grounding and self-regulation techniques
• Maintain professional standards with clear consent documentation for body-based work

The form strikes the right balance between gathering clinical information and creating a welcoming, non-threatening intake experience. Questions are framed with trauma-informed language that respects each client's autonomy and nervous system regulation needs.
