Somatic Experiencing offers a hopeful perspective on trauma. It rests upon the human animal’s inherent instincts and intelligence to heal. Using grounding and orienting exercises, and through tracking sensations in the body, Somatic Experiencing can help you understand and transform the residual symptoms of trauma, such as hypervigilance, overstimulation/overwhelm, dissociation, etc. Over time and with practice, we will work toward building the elements of a healthy nervous system, which is one that can navigate the cycles of activity and rest, functioning within a range of resilience.
