Trauma-Informed Somatic Experiencing
A gentle, body-based therapeutic approach that helps release stored trauma through mindful awareness of physical sensations and nervous system regulation.
Picture yourself in a peaceful room, guided to notice the subtle waves of sensation flowing through your body. Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a naturalistic approach to healing trauma that taps into your body's innate wisdom and self-regulatory capabilities.
Developed by Dr. Peter Levine after observing how animals naturally process threat in the wild, SE helps release trapped survival energy that can manifest as trauma symptoms. This revolutionary approach works with the body's nervous system to gently complete interrupted defensive responses.
Trauma survivors, anxiety sufferers, and those dealing with chronic stress seek out SE for its profound healing effects. When guided by trained practitioners, participants often report reduced symptoms, greater emotional regulation, and a renewed sense of safety in their bodies.
