Somatic Experiencing® (SE) is a powerful healing approach that helps individuals release and heal trauma by focusing on the body’s sensations and responses. Developed by Dr. Peter Levine, SE is based on the understanding that trauma is stored in the body and manifests as physical tension, emotional dysregulation, or a sense of being "stuck." Somatic Experiencing® works by gently guiding clients to become more aware of their bodily sensations, allowing them to process and release the trapped energy associated with past traumatic experiences. Through mindful awareness and slow, intentional movement, SE helps individuals shift from a state of stress or dysregulation to one of balance and relaxation, restoring a sense of safety and control. Whether you are dealing with past trauma, chronic stress, or emotional overwhelm, Somatic Experiencing® offers a compassionate, body-centered approach to healing, helping you reconnect with your natural ability to self-regulate and heal.
