Somatic Experiencing
Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals recover from trauma and stress-related disorders. Developed by Dr. Peter Levine, SE focuses on the body's natural ability to heal by addressing the physical sensations associated with trauma. The therapy aims to release the energy trapped in the body due to traumatic experiences, helping to restore the nervous system's balance and resilience.
Who benefits from SE sessions?
A person might want to come to a Somatic Experiencing (SE) session to find relief from the lingering effects of trauma and stress. SE offers a unique approach that focuses on the body's natural ability to heal by addressing physical sensations and releasing trapped energy. This can help restore balance to the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and improve overall well-being. Whether you're dealing with past trauma or everyday stress, SE can provide a safe and supportive environment to help you reconnect with your body and regain a sense of calm and resilience.

1. Body Awareness: The therapist will guide you to focus on physical sensations in your body, helping you become more aware of how your body responds to stress and trauma.
2. Release of Tension: Through gentle guidance, you may engage in movements or exercises that help release built-up tension and energy stored in your body
3. Grounding Techniques: The therapist might use grounding techniques to help you stay present and connected to your body, which can aid in processing and integrating traumatic experiences
