About Rin Yamamoto.

I'm a Somatic Experiencing practitioner (SEP, certified 2017) and have worked with complex trauma for over fifteen years. The clients I see have usually done significant trauma work before they find me — SE, EMDR, IFS, body psychotherapy. They're not in crisis. They're past the acute phase. But something hasn't yet completed.

The Wholeness Work doesn't replace trauma therapy. It works on a different layer — the felt sense of self that organised itself around the events, rather than the events themselves. For clients who've already done the somatic and narrative work, the Wholeness Work often reaches what those methods couldn't.

I'm based in Tokyo and offer sessions in Japanese and English. I certified with Connirae in 2023. I'm careful about scope: if you're in acute trauma or actively re-experiencing, this is probably not the right entry point — I'd recommend completing more SE or EMDR work first and then reaching out.

What I tend to focus on.

These are the patterns clients arrive with most often. The work itself doesn't depend on the pattern — the method is the same whether you're working with anxiety, grief, a stuck habit, or just a sense of background tension you can't quite name.

What a session is like.

A session is 60 to 90 minutes, on video call. Rin Yamamoto guides you through the Wholeness Work, slowly enough that you can actually feel what's happening. You don't need to know the method beforehand — coaches are trained to lead you through it without prior context.

  • You bring whatever's present. A pattern, a feeling, a situation. You don't need to know what you "want to work on." Most clients don't, at first.
  • The coach leads you through the process. Gentle questions, no re-living difficult material, no narrative work. You stay in your own experience throughout.
  • What shifts, shifts on its own. The method works by dissolution, not by effort. Many clients describe the session afterwards as "less like therapy, more like the inside of the room got bigger."
  • You leave with something repeatable. Over time, the process becomes something you can use on your own, between sessions.

Booking, payment, and rescheduling all happen on Rin Yamamoto's own system — the Wholeness Work doesn't sit in the middle. If you want to feel the work before choosing a coach, the Free Intro is the gentlest place to start.
