Benefits of Somatic Experiencing
Somatic experiencing helps reset your nervous system by releasing stored trauma. This allows your body to move from a state of fight, flight, or freeze back to a state of calm and balance.
Our approach focuses on your body’s sensations rather than retelling the trauma which provides a non-invasive and gentle path to healing — one that doesn’t require reliving painful memories.
Through Somatic Experiencing, you’ll develop a greater awareness of your body’s sensations and how they relate to emotional experiences. This enhances the mind-body connection and promotes holistic healing.
What is Somatic Experiencing?
Somatic Experiencing is a powerful body-centered approach to healing trauma, stress, and anxiety by focusing on the physical sensations associated with emotional distress. This therapy helps you reconnect with your body’s natural capacity for healing by releasing stored trauma and restoring balance to the nervous system — and is especially beneficial for those who prefer a non-verbal, gentle approach to trauma recovery, as it does not require retelling traumatic experiences.
Whether you are struggling with the aftereffects of trauma, chronic stress, or anxiety, somatic experiencing therapy at CenterLife Counseling helps you regain emotional balance, restore nervous system health, and achieve lasting recovery by addressing trauma at its root.
