Somatic Experiencing(SE)®
What Is Somatic Experiencing ?
Somatic Experiencing®, founded by Dr. Peter Levine, is a
naturalistic, body-oriented approach to resolving the effects
of trauma. Using the innate ability humans have to overcome
trauma, SE encourages and utilises the awareness of sensations
and affect in the body to help people re-negotiate and heal
their trauma.
SE uses techniques and interventions that work directly with
the neurophysiology of the body. It enables the regulation
and integration of high levels of trauma-related physiological
activation in the body. While gently pacing the process so that
each individual can safely assimilate the changes within their
nervous system without overwhelm, SE may help restore a
sense of aliveness, relaxation and wholeness in the aftermath
of trauma or after periods of chronic stress.
Who can benefit from SE?
Individuals who have experienced trauma or shock through
accidents, surgeries, prolonged illnesses, natural disasters, war,
terrorism, torture, rape, emotional and domestic abuse, early
childhood neglect or any overwhelming experience.
SE may also help those who are experiencing either acute
anxiety symptoms or who suffer from ongoing chronic physical
symptoms such as fibromyalgia, chronic pain, migraines and
other syndromes.
Who uses Somatic Experiencing®?
Worldwide, SE is used by over 5,000 health-focussed
practitioners. It seamlessly integrates into either
psychotherapeutic or body oriented therapies.
SE practitioners include psychotherapists,
psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors,
social workers, nurses, cranio sacral
therapists, rolfers, EMDR practitioners,
acupuncturists, art therapists, massage
and physiotherapists, chiropractors
and osteopaths.
