In the episode, I share 3 somatic experiencing based healing tools that I use to help me self sooth & to return back to safety anytime I’m emotionally activated, ungrounded, or really anytime I think I need to use them. These techniques have been & continue to be immensely helpful for me & I believe that they can be helpful for you too. Somatic experiencing (or ‘SE’) is a body centered approach that offers a variety of tools, techniques, & practices for treating & healing trauma & other stress related disorders. It was first discovered in the 1970s by trauma therapist —Dr Peter Levine & ever since, it has come to be considered a leading edge therapy approach to effectively & successfully healing what’s been laying dormant or stuck in the body. What makes SE different from other trauma healing practices, is that, rather than focusing only on thoughts or memories from a traumatic experience, it expands to include the natural bodily (somatic) responses as well….and reconnecting to the body is where true lasting healing begins. SE is a transformative process that I strongly believe can help nearly anyone to heal; helping one to develop a true sense of resiliency over their life & to allow a sense of safety to be created again. And so with that, if this resonates with you, give this episode a listen & feel free to take these 3 tools with you to use from here on out anytime you need to restore safety in your body/life.
