Somatic Experiencing®

Somatic Experiencing®

Somatic Experiencing® is a powerful and comprehensive approach for working on trauma. It is an extraordinary method of psycho-physiological work, developed by Dr. Peter Levine, for the treatment and prevention of trauma in a short time.

The most significant contribution of Somatic Experiencing® is the understanding that what happens in the traumatic event is not merely psychological, but a complex physical, neurological and psychic reaction.

The resolution of the trauma lies in completing and unloading the physiological processes rather than remembering or reliving the event.

One of the most important things about this method, which allows you to work on the trauma in a deep and permanent way, is that you do not act only on a rational and emotional level, but you act on the level of unconscious instinctive responses, you work and integrate what happened on a physiological and neurological level.

Somatic Experiencing® offers us the possibility to find fundamental resources within ourselves that allow us to integrate the difficult experiences and to create a solid ground for our present and future.

With Somatic Experiencing® it is not necessary to relive the difficult situation, since we work with the information that the nervous system provides us.

It is a method that allows us to release the energies that have remained blocked in the trauma, and live our life in a more present, integrated and centered way.
