Trauma is a fact of life but doesn't have to be a life sentence. (Peter Levine)
"Somatic Experiencing" (SE) is an approach to the resolution and healing of trauma developed by Dr. Peter Levine.
How is Somatic Experiencing (SE) different from other therapeutic modalities
that work with trauma?
- SE is more than talk therapy. SE uses focused awareness of bodily sensations to engage innate self-regulation and healing.
- SE helps the individual develop body awareness to "renegotiate" and heal trauma rather than relive or re-enact trauma.
- SE allows time and space for the survival energies to be safely experienced and gradually discharged.
- SE naturally builds greater and greater inner resiliency, self-regulation, and wellness.
