Somatic Experiencing Therapy
The therapists at The Codependency Clinic are trained in Somatic Experiencing Therapy, which is a therapy that successfully addresses the trauma found within your body. The purpose of the therapy is to help clients gain a deeper understanding of their emotions and behavior patterns to overcome them.
What is Somatic Experiencing Therapy?
Somatic Experiencing Therapy focuses on the sensations in the body to heal experienced trauma, especially PTSD. It was developed by Peter Levine, Ph.D.. It helps you become aware of your body’s physical sensations and learn to process these feelings in a healthy way. Somatic Experiencing Therapy can involve using guided imagery, breathing exercises, and other techniques to help you notice and work through any physical sensations that might be connected to your trauma.
How Does Somatic Experiencing Work?
Your autonomic nervous system is responsible for the body’s stress response, which includes the sympathetic nervous system’s fight or flight response. In Somatic Experiencing Therapy, your therapist helps you learn to identify and manage these responses to restore balance to your nervous system. This leads to better healing from traumatic experiences. By reconnecting your mind and body, somatic experiencing can help you process and overcome trauma responses.
