Somatic Experiencing
With Kim Younger
What is Somatic Experiencing®
Somatic Experiencing® is a body based approach to resolving and healing symptoms of trauma developed by Dr. Peter A. Levine. The Somatic Experiencing® (SE) approach works with shock trauma and developmental/complex trauma. It is my guiding philosophy in alignment with your goals to support the innate wisdom of your body to restore healing, resilience, and vitality to engage in life.
What can an SE ™ session look like:
-
tracking what's happening inside the body
-
experiential exercises to build somatic skills of regulation and coherence
-
gently & slowly working with traumatic material so as not to overwhelm the nervous system
-
conversation for 20-30 mins & SE Safe Touch ™ may be incorporated to support the healing within the body non-verbally
Somatic Experiencing® is a holistic approach that can be effective in resolving symptoms of trauma or chronic stress. Symptoms often occur because of what has happened inside of us in response to an overwhelming event, chronic toxic stress, and/or disruptions in attachment with the caregivers in our lives.
