“What I do know is that we become traumatized when our ability to respond to a perceived threat is in some way overwhelmed. This inability to adequately respond can impact us in obvious ways, as well as ways that are subtle.”
- Peter Levine
Somatic Experiencing is a body-based approach to healing trauma and restoring nervous system regulation. By working gently with the body’s sensations, it helps resolve the effects of stress, shock, and trauma—supporting resilience, emotional balance, and overall well-being.
Benefits of Somatic Experiencing include:
Trauma resolution through safe processing and release of stored survival energy
Improved nervous system regulation, reducing anxiety and supporting emotional stability
Relief from physical symptoms like tension, chronic pain, and digestive issues
Greater body awareness and connection to inner experience
Empowerment in managing stress and navigating challenges
Integration of past experiences, fostering coherence and growth
Enhanced resilience, self-care, and a renewed sense of vitality
