The Somatic Experiencing® method is a body-oriented approach to the healing of trauma and other stress disorders. This method is the life’s work of Dr. Peter A. Levine, and comes from his studies of stress physiology, psychology, ethology, biology, neuroscience, indigenous healing practices, and medical biophysics.
Interestingly, this techniques provides an opportunity to see where a person is “stuck” in the fight, flight or freeze and provides tools to help resolve this. With that said, it provides skills great for a variety of healing professions including: mental health, medicine, physical therapy and occupational therapy, bodywork, addiction treatment, first response, and education.
The Somatic Experiencing® approach is the method for the completion of self-protecting motor responses and for the release of blocked survival energy in the body – thus finding the root cause of the trauma symptoms. Uniquely, by gently guiding clients to develop an increased tolerance for difficult bodily sensations and suppressed emotions, we are able to decrease fight, flight or freeze.
