Somatic Experiencing offers a framework to assess where a person is “stuck” in the fight, flight or freeze responses and provides clinical tools to resolve these fixated physiological states. It provides effective skills appropriate to a variety of healing professions including mental health, medicine, physical and occupational therapies, bodywork, addiction treatment, education, and others.
The results from Somatic Experiencing therapy include relief from shame, stress, anxiety, panic attacks, hyper-vigilance, depression, habits and addictions, patterns and vicious cycles, self-sabotage, syndromes and dissociative behaviors. It brings on a sense of vibrancy and reawakens feelings of centeredness, boundaries, empowerment, being “in the moment”, safety, and joyfulness.
Shame, developmental trauma and shock traumas are oftentimes the underlying causes of anxiety, panic, depression, unsatisfying relationships, trusting others, vicious cycles and/or re-enactments and the ongoing aftermath of PTSD. Addressing the unresolved trauma of early wounding experiences will start you on the journey towards healing and returning to a fuller sense of self.
