Somatic Experiencing®

Somatic Experiencing®(SE), developed by Dr. Peter A. Levine, is one of my therapeutic orientations I primarily employ. This therapeutic model specifically addresses how past experiences are held within our nervous system; our body is often the forgotten (and final) piece of the puzzle in therapy. If you are unpleasantly affected by past experiences (recent or long ago) and feel ‘stuck,’ or like you can’t make changes even though you know the ‘right things to do,’ then SE is may be a good option for you. I often tell my clients that, “If you could think yourself out of these problems, you wouldn’t be seeking help.” I’m happy to address any questions you have about SE, and you can also visit the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute’s website for more information.
