Your Body Drifts Away in Crowds?The Somatic Soother for the Lonely Expat
You’re on a busy street in a city you barely know. Suddenly, your hands go numb and your vision tunnels. Your mind feels miles from this sidewalk. You search for solid ground and find only distance.

Grounding Body Check-In
Configure your first Somatic Soother session
The Somatic Soother is here to guide you back into your body. Describe what you feel right now.
Why You Need a Somatic Anchor
COPYMIND pairs you with an AI twin trained to notice bodily signals. It offers real-time grounding prompts tailored to your dissociative moments in unfamiliar places.
Safe Grounding
Your AI twin never judges. It only focuses on your physical sensations, so you can feel rooted without fear.
Reset Nervous System
Dissociation spikes your stress response. Short somatic exercises bring your heart rate down and reconnect mind to body.
Anywhere, Any Time
No local support group? No problem. Your Somatic Soother is ready on your phone, even in a foreign subway or cafe.
The Detachment of Dissociation in Public
You lock eyes with a stranger for a split second. Your chest goes tight and your vision blurs. You’re an expat—no family nearby, no familiar face to ground you.
You stare at the train schedule as your mind floats above the station. Your hands tremble. You feel like a ghost at a sidewalk cafe, watched but unseen.
You don’t tell your friends. You fear they’ll call you dramatic or tell you to ‘snap out of it.’ You need a place that understands this hollow ache.
How the Somatic Soother Brings You Back
Focusing on physical cues pulls you out of autopilot. Tiny movements, like tapping your feet, remind your brain you exist in this body.
An AI twin trained in somatic techniques guides you step by step. It notices when your breath hitches and offers a prompt to soften your shoulders or press your palms together.
In a foreign city, fear and isolation fuel dissociation. The Somatic Soother adapts to your context, helping you stay present on crowded streets or in lonely apartments.
