Somatic Experiencing

Somatic Experiencing® (SE) is a gentle, body-based approach to healing trauma. Instead of focusing only on talking about what happened, it helps you notice and make sense of what’s happening in your body—like tension, breath, or subtle sensations. Trauma can get “stuck” in the nervous system, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, shut down, or on edge. Through slow, guided awareness, SE supports your body in releasing this stored stress and restores a sense of safety and balance. Over time, this can help you feel more grounded, present, and connected to yourself.
