What is Somatic Experiencing™

Somatic Experiencing™ therapy focuses on restoring balance to one’s nervous system. When your body is no longer reacting to situations and thoughts like the trauma was happening all over again, you find it quicker to relax and easier to cope with current situations with a clear and balanced mind.

The practice of Somatic Experiencing enables us to resolve difficulties you have experienced by focusing on your nervous system. Using body-focused exercises to concentrate on tangible, physical sensations allows you to experience emotions without feeling out of control. When we access memories in this way, it is possible to resolve situations that may keep occurring in your life.

Somatic Experiencing Can Help You Feel More at Ease

Would you like to feel more at ease in your body and in your relationships? If you’ve read this far, I’m sure the answer is ‘yes’.

Do you notice times when your heart starts racing, and you feel fear even though part of you knows you are safe? Do you ever feel like you can’t get a deep breath? These are just a few signs of trauma and neglect. Other things you might notice are a consistent drive toward perfectionism that leads to exhaustion or feeling disorganized and disconnected. When we’ve lived through a situation that was too much, and went too fast, too soon, the memory of that event gets stored in our body.

If this sounds like you, and you’ve tried talk therapy but didn’t end up feeling better, Somatic Experiencing may hold some answers for you.

Trauma is a Memory Held in the Body, not just the Mind

When I learned about Somatic Experiencing, I realized what I had been missing in all the work I had done with clients previously. Trauma is a memory that is held in the body, not just the mind. When the body can feel supported in feeling free and successful, the mind becomes eased and more flexible. The end result is that you can experience lasting change and freedom from behaviors; behaviors that may have worked when you were younger but are no longer effective in getting you what you need in your relationships.
