WHAT IT IS
Octopus Setup Spot™ is a multidimensional somatic healing modality designed to meet you exactly where you are.
It integrates somatic awareness, symbolic anchoring, parts-informed inquiry, and gaze-based resourcing principles to create a flexible yet structured pathway into regulation, insight, and restoration.
Rather than forcing one doorway, the modality allows multiple points of access, honoring the uniqueness of your nervous system and each moment.
This is not a rigid method. It is an adaptive system.
WHY THE OCTOPUS
The octopus is not used as decoration. It is a somatic metaphor and structural guide.
With eight arms, the octopus represents multidimensional awareness, the capacity to hold complexity without fragmentation.
In nature, the octopus demonstrates:
- Regeneration
- Adaptive intelligence
- Camouflage and protection
- Multi-directional sensing
- Distributed neural processing
These qualities form the energetic and symbolic architecture of the modality.
Each “arm” represents a different access point, allowing you to find the most effective doorway into connection, safety, and insight.
HOW IT WORKS
Octopus Setup Spot™ is built around structured yet flexible components:
- Symbolic-Somatic Anchoring
- Parts-Informed Inquiry
- Gaze-Based Resourcing Principles
- Multidirectional Emotional Processing
- Adaptive Regeneration Framework
Rather than imposing interpretation, the system supports discovery. Rather than pushing intensity, it builds capacity. Rather than bypassing complexity, it acknowledges it.

ABOUT THE CREATOR
Octopus Setup Spot™ was developed by Michelle Dyett-Welcome, MSEd, PCC, a trauma-informed coach and practitioner trained in Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic modalities, and integrative healing frameworks.
The modality was born from lived experience, clinical integration, and symbolic exploration — designed to create a system that is both structured and spacious.
