SE resolves symptoms of stress, shock, and trauma that accumulate in our bodies. When we are stuck in patterns of fight, flight, or freeze, SE helps us release, recover, and become more resilient. The large majority of people worldwide have traumatic experiences in their lifetime, which can have major impacts on their health and well-being. Rates of trauma exposure are estimated to be anywhere from 60-100% in the general population.
Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body-oriented therapy designed to treat trauma and chronic stress by releasing tension trapped in the nervous system. Rather than analyzing past memories, it uses "bottom-up processing"—guiding clients to focus on physical sensations to safely discharge survival energy (fight, flight, or freeze).
