Somatic Experiencing is a gentle yet highly effective therapeutic practice that helps release stress from our lives, whether from day to day challenges or traumatic experiences. This kind of stress is simply extra energy stored in our bodies, left over from any overwhelming event. Developed by Dr. Peter Levine and inspired by studies of wild animals, Somatic Experiencing helps us become more aware of the sensations in our bodies.
We can become whole, balanced and in control of our lives again. Therefore, when we have not been able to respond appropriately to an overwhelming situation, such as a real or perceived threat, physical or emotional injury, etc.
They often take the form of symptoms such as PTSD, depression, anger, anxiety, sleep disorders, addiction, chronic pain, phobias, eating disorders, or almost any other maladaptive response. Indeed, from the somatic perspective, these symptoms are simply our bodies natural way of releasing the extra energy left over from the incomplete survival response.
