SOMATIC EXPERIENCING® (SE):
Below are several links to videos that explain Somatic Experiencing®, founded by Dr. Peter Levine. I am a certified SOMATIC EXPERIENCING® (SE) Practitioner. The SE training is a three year trauma healing training program and is indented to be used as part of your scope of practice. Since I'm a Licensed Mental Health Professional, I incorporate the principles of SE into my other practice techniques, and find it extremely useful to track the central nervous system as we conduct therapy, and to assist my clients in their natural capability to heal. SE is a modality that incorporates meaning with tracking body sensations, affect, images, and incomplete survival responses.
From the website (http://www.traumahealing.org/about-se.php):
SOMATIC EXPERIENCING® (SE) psychobiological trauma resolution is a potent method for resolving trauma symptoms and relieving chronic stress. It is the life’s work of Dr. Peter A. Levine, resulting from his multidisciplinary study of stress physiology, psychology, ethology, biology, neuroscience, indigenous healing practices, and medical biophysics, together with over 45 years of successful clinical application. The SE approach releases traumatic shock, which is key to transforming PTSD and the wounds of emotional and early developmental attachment trauma.
The SE approach offers a framework to assess where a person is “stuck” in the fight, flight or freeze responses and provides clinical tools to resolve these fixated physiological states. It provides effective skills appropriate to a variety of healing professions including mental health, medicine, physical and occupational therapies, bodywork, addiction treatment, first response, education, and others.
