Somatic Experiencing
Exploring the Power of Body Sensations with Somatic Experiencing
Our bodies are incredible vessels of wisdom, constantly providing us with valuable information through sensations. Somatic Experiencing is a powerful therapeutic approach that helps individuals tune into these sensations to promote healing and well-being.
The Wisdom of Body Sensations
Body sensations, such as tension, warmth, or tingling, are the way our bodies communicate with us. By paying attention to these sensations, we can gain insights into our emotions, thoughts, and overall well-being. However, in the hustle and bustle of daily life, we often overlook these valuable signals.
What is Somatic Experiencing?
Somatic Experiencing is a body-oriented therapy approach developed by Dr. Peter A. Levine. It focuses on renegotiating and healing trauma by paying attention to bodily sensations and allowing the natural completion of self-protective responses that may have been suppressed during a traumatic event.
How Somatic Experiencing Works
During a Somatic Experiencing session, a trained therapist guides individuals to track their body sensations related to past traumas gently. By titrating the experience and staying within the individual's tolerance level, the therapist helps the person release the stored energy associated with the trauma gradually.
