Tuning into the Body with Somatic Experiencing

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to become disconnected from our bodies and the signals they send us. Somatic Experiencing is a powerful therapeutic approach that helps individuals reconnect with their bodies, release stored trauma, and restore balance to their nervous systems.

What is Somatic Experiencing?

Somatic Experiencing, developed by Dr. Peter Levine, is a body-centered therapy that focuses on releasing the effects of trauma stored in the body. This approach recognizes that trauma is not just a mental experience but also a physical one, impacting our nervous system and overall well-being.

How Does Somatic Experiencing Work?

Through gentle guidance and awareness of bodily sensations, Somatic Experiencing helps individuals track and release tension, stress, and trauma held in the body.
