What is Somatic Experiencing?
Supporting Mind-Body-Heart alignment, and nervous system regulation.
Somatic means "of the living body"
Experiencing refers to an experience you are having in the here and now
Somatic Experiencing was created by Dr. Peter Levine, as a naturalistic, body-oriented approach to relieving the imprints of trauma or chronic stress, so that a person can feel renewed and balanced.
Instead of being stuck in an anxious or shut down flight, flight or freeze pattern, you offer yourself a route to return to the natural flow and rhythm of life. You begin with a guide, and then learn to do this for yourself.
"While trauma is a fact of life, it does not have to be a life sentence." - Dr. Peter Levine
