Exploring Body Sensations Mindfully with Somatic Experiencing
Have you ever felt disconnected from your body or experienced physical sensations that you couldn't quite understand? Somatic Experiencing, a therapeutic approach developed by Dr. Peter A. Levine, offers a unique way to explore and heal these bodily experiences mindfully. By focusing on the sensations in your body, Somatic Experiencing aims to release stored traumatic energy and promote overall well-being.
What is Somatic Experiencing?
Somatic Experiencing is a body-oriented approach to healing trauma and stress. It recognizes that traumatic experiences can become "stuck" in the body, leading to a range of physical and emotional symptoms. Through gentle awareness and tracking of bodily sensations, Somatic Experiencing helps individuals renegotiate and release these trapped energies, restoring a sense of balance and vitality.
How does it work?
During a Somatic Experiencing session, a trained practitioner guides you through gentle exercises and techniques to help you become more aware of your body's sensations. By slowly exploring these sensations and staying present with them, you can begin to unravel the underlying trauma and allow your body to process and release it naturally.
