A gentle therapeutic approach, Somatic Experiencing (SE) focuses on resolving trauma and stress by engaging the body’s natural self-regulating mechanisms to restore balance to the nervous system. Trauma disrupts the body’s natural ability to process and release stress. SE emphasizes the importance of accessing and releasing stored energy from traumatic experiences using a slow, gentle and gradual approach. As a SE practitioner, my goal is to set a safe container where the client can process their trauma without feeling overwhelmed or retraumatized.

Benefits of SE include:

Reduced Symptoms: Alleviation of trauma-related symptoms such as anxiety, hyper vigilance, and even some physical symptoms and illness.

Resilience Building: Empowerment. You will be able to regain sense of safety and control within yourself, fostering resilience in the face of stress.

Integration: With time you will be able to integrate your traumatic experiences which will create capacity ad space to move forward with a greater sense of well-being and purpose. Previous triggers should feel less activating.
