Question 1

What are psychosomatic symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Psychosomatic symptoms are physical sensations, tension, pain, or chronic patterns in the body that don’t have a clear medical explanation, or don’t respond to the usual treatments.
They’re not “in your head.” They’re the body’s way of expressing what hasn’t yet had space to be felt or processed.

These symptoms often show up as:
 • gut issues
 • migraines or pressure headaches
 • chronic exhaustion
 • hormonal or cycle changes
 • sleep disruption
 • skin flare-ups
 • jaw tension or clenching
 • emotional surges or numbness

Question 2

What is psychosomatic coaching, and how is it different from talk therapy or mindset coaching?

Accepted Answer

Psychosomatic coaching works with the body, emotions, and internal parts — not just your thoughts or mindset. It’s a trauma-informed approach that includes nervous system regulation, parts work, and somatic tracking.

Unlike talk therapy, we don’t just analyse problems. And unlike mindset coaching, we don’t try to force a positive outlook. We slow down and listen to what your body is holding — so that change happens from the inside out.

Question 3

What are the core techniques in your approach to psychosomatic coaching?

Accepted Answer

I work with your body, nervous system, and inner parts; not just your thoughts. The goal is to understand what’s underneath your symptoms and help your system feel safer and more regulated.

Some of the core techniques include:

• Parts work: Getting to know the different sides of you — especially the ones that feel protective, reactive, or overwhelmed.
 • Somatic tracking: Noticing how stress, emotion, or old patterns show up in your body, and learning how to listen to that safely.
 • Nervous system regulation: Simple, polyvagal-informed ways of helping your system settle, unfreeze, or come out of shutdown.
 • Attachment-aware work: Looking at how early relational patterns shape boundaries, connection, and conflict today.
 • Narrative work: Exploring the stories you carry about yourself and the world — especially the ones shaped by survival.
 • Neurodivergence-informed support: ADHD-aware pacing, sensory needs, and processing differences are fully integrated.
 • Systemic + ancestral mapping: Spotting the bigger patterns you may have inherited or taken on in your family system.
Together, these help you build more internal safety, clarity, and choice — so your body doesn’t have to work so hard to protect you.

Question 4

What is the Psychosomatic Restoration Method™?

Accepted Answer

The Psychosomatic Restoration Method™ (https://www.tanyamaster.com/post/psychosomatic-coaching-trauma)(PSR Method) is my structured, trauma‑informed way of working with people who’ve learned to stay safe by over‑functioning, performing, or suppressing emotion.

It draws from a unique blend of tools across coaching, psychotherapy, symbolic process, and the spiritual realm — offering a holistic way to unwind deep patterns and reconnect with the parts of you that went offline under stress.
Over time, this restores stability, clearer boundaries, and a stronger sense of self‑authorship.

Question 5

Why do you use a structured method instead of an open-ended coaching model?

Accepted Answer

Most therapy is open-ended, with no clear arc. Most coaching is client-led, which often puts the pressure on you to know what to focus on, even when you’re stuck.
The Psychosomatic Restoration Method™ is different. It follows a phased, trimester-based structure designed to meet complexity with care. This structure keeps us grounded, clear, and on track (and with an end date in mind). It gives your nervous system the pacing and containment it needs to go deeper safely.

For many high-functioning clients, this is the missing piece: a method that doesn’t just offer insight, but supports real, embodied integration.
