Somatic Experiencing
Healing trauma through the body
Trauma isn’t just stored in the mind—it lives in the body.
You might know something is over, but your body still feels stuck in survival mode: tense, frozen, on edge.
Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a gentle, body-based therapy that helps release stored stress and trauma without needing to relive what happened.
It works by guiding your nervous system back into balance—helping it complete what it never got the chance to finish.
People often come to SE saying things like:
“I’m always on high alert, even when there’s no threat.“
My anxiety feels like it lives in my chest or gut.”
“I shut down when things get too overwhelming.”
“I’ve talked about it before, but my body still hasn’t let it go.”
Healing through Somatic Experiencing
Somatic Experiencing can support healing from trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, emotional overwhelm, dissociation, and even physical pain that seems rooted in past experience.
If you’ve struggled with panic, shutdown, or that constant sense of being “on edge,” your nervous system may be stuck in a trauma response.
In SE, we work slowly and respectfully, helping you track the sensations in your body and allowing the trapped survival energy to release—gently, naturally, and at your own pace.
You don’t need to retell every detail of the past.
Instead, we help your body feel safe again, from the inside out.
Clients often report feeling calmer, more present, and more connected—to themselves, to others, and to life.
They move through the world with less tension, less fear, and more ease.
If your body still feels like it’s bracing for impact, even after all this time—Somatic Experiencing can help you finally exhale.
