How Somatic Experiencing® works.
Somatic Experiencing® (SE) is a body-centered therapeutic approach developed by Peter Levine, in which the autonomic nervous system is the central focus.
In the sessions, we direct our attention to bodily sensations and inner perceptions. In doing so, we move mindfully between different states and experiences, so that your nervous system can experience new possibilities of regulation.
It is not about reliving the past. It is about sensing your body in the here and now—what sensations and impulses might show up. It is also about gathering emotions, images (abstract or from memory), and also thoughts/insights. And it is about sensing what you need and seeing what new experiences become possible. We proceed step-by-step, always with the intention of finding the right pace.

“Trauma isn’t destiny. The body, not the thinking brain, is where we experience most of our pain, pleasure, and joy, and where we process most of what happens to us. It is also where we do most of our healing, including our emotional and psychological healing.”
