What is Somatic Experiencing?
We ALL have the innate capacity to heal.
In today’s world, symptoms of stress such as anxiety, fear, disconnection, anger and depression are common. Healing is bringing back into alignment those parts of ourselves that are disconnected due to a traumatic experience or series of stressful and traumatic events. Disconnection happens as trauma creates a split in the body, emotions and mental functions as well as in our relational capacity. The resulting stagnation of life energy inhibits the flow within the nervous system, rendering us unable to respond to life with our full potential.
Somatic Experiencing® is a gentle, mind-body oriented approach to healing trauma and other stress related disorders. We listen to sensations and emotions as
the language of the nervous system. The body becomes a resource for healing.
Trauma is not always easy to recognize.
It is stored in the body as physical sensations that manifest into stress, anxiety, depression, tension and physical pain.
Many of us have been impacted by trauma of one kind or another, and do not realize how much it’s affecting our daily life, our family and our health.
Trauma can be both emotional and physical. It can be rooted in a single event, such as an accident, illness, divorce, or attack. It can also be ongoing such as sexual or mental abuse. It can stem from long-term stress, or from the many issues of a difficult childhood.
When we are caught by our reactions to these distressing events, that is the trauma taking hold. We may experience an undercurrent of unhappiness or uneasiness or, more subtly, simply not fully comfortable in our body or our self. We can feel stuck, even trapped, dealing with anxiety and stress. We might find ourselves at times overwhelmed, and daily life seems more and more difficult. Emotions and reactions spiral out of control, affecting relationships or careers. It becomes hard to concentrate and truly enjoy life. We may feel lost, and ungrounded.These are all signs and symptoms of trauma.
No matter what you may have heard, it is possible to change all that; to finally break free from trauma. Through my individualized approach using Somatic Experiencing® (SE), a gentle and practical mind/body method to healing unresolved trauma, you can finally put your trauma behind you where it belongs.
This requires time, space and attuning to the unique rythym of each individual
nervous system. Awareness and relational presence facilitate the coherence of sensation, emotion and thought pattern.The energy trapped in the trauma pattern
can then be released into the central nervous system leading to feeling more connected to life.
No matter the origin or how long you’ve been suffering from it, together we can help you heal your trauma. You can enjoy inner peace and a sense of calm in your every day life.
