Identity and personality development used to be superimposed in both theory and practice. In the last 30-35 years, their origins have been traced beyond personal boundaries to include factors from the individual's evolving biological and social environment. These elements influence psychomotor and nonverbal communication patterns, which create a behavioral bias early in development. In the adult, the lack of awareness of this bias impairs performance and well-being.

The practice of PROFILING is a dynamic communication tool that entrains the individual to utilize their intrapersonal Sense of Coherence (SOC) to better organize their interpersonal Sense of Coherence (SOC). This is achieved by being able to recognize the primary signatures of the 4 distinct 'domains' or somatic orientations we use to interact with ourselves and others. The
Somatic Method (TSM) provides people with a portable means to reconcile this and achieve a rhythmic integration of self and surroundings.
