The Somatic Experiencing® method has shown its high effectiveness in the case of problems related to excessive emotional reactions, hyperactivity, decrease or excessive sexual activity, panic attacks, anxiety, phobias, reduced ability to deal with stress, inability to learn, to bond, anxiety, depression, sense of alienation, burnout, loss of life energy, insomnia, chronic pains, etc.
Somatic Experiencing® (SE) does not focus on just experiencing a traumatizing experience, but primarily on restoring the body’s full, proper response to the experience. Therefore, the resolution of the trauma is carried out by gradually releasing the survival energy accumulated in the autonomic nervous system and completing the stopped stress reaction to the past situation, which leads to the regulation of the psychosomatic consequences of the trauma. Thus, it avoids retraumatisation (returning to unpleasant memories for the patient), focusing primarily on the subjective “here and now” subjective feelings flowing from the body.
Method:
SE is an effective psychophysiological method of treating the symptoms of trauma and relieving chronic stress. The method is developed by dr. Peter A. Levine and covers the scope of physiology, psychology, ethology, biology and neurology. It is a short-term naturalistic approach to resolution and treatment of trauma and chronic stress. The method is based on the Polyvagal Theory.
On the session you will learn to monitor the activation of your nervous system, how to improve self-regulation. The goal is to decrease the symptoms and restore healthy functioning. More information: https://somatic-experiencing-europe.org/somatic-experiencing/
