Surrogate Partner Therapy
What is Surrogate Partner Therapy? Surrogate Partner Therapy (SPT) is where healing moves out of your head and into your body. It is a powerful form of somatic therapy designed to help you break through the barriers keeping you from deep intimacy—whether those blocks are social, sexual, or emotional.
We work in a safe, supportive triad: You, myself (as your Surrogate Partner), and a collaborating therapist. While you process insights with your therapist, you and I put them into practice. We create a temporary, ethical, and hands-on relationship where you can experiment with trust, touch, consent, and vulnerability without the fear of judgment. It is a "practice ground" for the real thing—allowing you to rewire old patterns and learn healthy connection by actually experiencing it.
