Somatic Experiencing is a body-awareness
approach to trauma. SE
restores self-regulation, and returns the sense of aliveness, relaxation and wholeness to traumatized individuals who have had these precious gifts taken away. “Trauma is neither a disease nor a disorder, but is rather an injury caused by paralyzing
fright, helplessness, and loss,” Peter Levine writes. “By enlisting the wisdom of the living, sensing body, and
engaging our innate capacity to self-regulate high states of arousal and intense emotions, trauma can be transformed and
healed."
“Together we will explore how it is possible to live life robustly with pleasure and creativity, even in the face of the most painful assaults to our humanity, and also in the face of deceptively trivial ones. From an evolutionary understanding of the source of trauma to a spiritual dimension of how we as human beings can be strengthened by traumatic healing, this journey unfolds—if we learn to attend to the unspoken voice of the body. In this exploration we will work with drawing, body-mindfulness, group exercises, and individual work.” |
