My intention and role are to facilitate your healing while respecting your individual unique journey and needs, so you can step back into your own strength.
Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a therapeutic approach designed to address and heal the effects of trauma on the body and nervous system. Developed by Dr. Peter A. Levine, a renowned psychologist and trauma expert, SE focuses on the physiological and bodily responses to trauma. The approach is grounded in the understanding that traumatic experiences can become stuck in the body, leading to a range of physical, emotional, and psychological symptoms.
SE aims to release the trapped energy and tension associated with trauma through gentle and mindful exploration of bodily sensations. By carefully attending to bodily sensations, individuals can gradually process and discharge the energy that may have been frozen during the traumatic event. This process can lead to a reduction in symptoms such as anxiety, hypervigilance, and physical pain, allowing individuals to reclaim a sense of safety and well-being.
Trauma can have a profound and lasting impact on a person’s emotional, psychological, and physical well-being. It can disrupt a person’s sense of safety, trust, and overall functioning. So, if…

“Trauma is hell on earth. Trauma resolved is a gift from the gods.”
“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.”
“The paradox of trauma is that it has both the power to destroy and the power to transform and resurrect.”
