Somatic Experiencing (SE)
What is Somatic Experiencing?
The Somatic Experiencing® (SE) method is a body-oriented approach to healing trauma and stress-related disorders. Developed by Dr. Peter A. Levine, PhD, it is the result of over 50 years of research in:
✔️ Stress physiology
✔️ Biology & neuroscience
✔️ Psychology & trauma healing
✔️ Indigenous healing practices
The SE™ approach helps release traumatic shock and restore connection—a vital step in healing PTSD, emotional wounds, and early developmental trauma. It provides a framework to identify where a person is stuck in the fight, flight, or freeze response and offers clinical tools to resolve these fixated states.
What to Expect in a Session
Each Somatic Experiencing session is unique and tailored to your needs. We work with what naturally comes up, including:
✔️ Past traumatic experiences
✔️ Current life challenges
✔️ Small daily stressors & nervous system imbalances
📌 The goal is to increase tolerance for difficult bodily sensations, release suppressed emotions, and build resilience.
💡 No prior experience is required—just an open mind and a willingness to reconnect with your body and release stored trauma.
How Can SE Help You?
SE is a gentle, safe, and effective approach that supports healing from:
✔️ Autoimmune conditions
✔️ Digestive issues
