My work is client-lead as it is my intentional emphasis to empower choice, have discussions around what to expect and go at the pace that supports healing in the individual.
Somatic Experiencing® Therapy
healing trauma through nervous system regulation
Somatic Experiencing® (SE) is a powerful method for addressing trauma symptoms and reducing chronic stress through a psychobiological approach. Created by Dr. Peter Levine, SE does not necessitate the retelling or reliving of traumatic experiences. Instead, it allows individuals to work through and resolve the body’s natural fight, flight, and freeze responses in a gradual and supportive manner.
This process helps reset the nervous system, restore inner balance, boost resilience to stress, and improve vitality, equanimity, and active engagement in life. I create a space of non-judgmental and compassionate support that encourages gentle awareness of bodily sensations and areas where survival energy may be stored.
This gentle approach aids the nervous system in identifying and releasing trapped trauma energy.
“Trauma is a fact of life. It does not, however, have to be a life sentence” Dr. Peter A. Levine, developer of Somatic Experiencing
