Somatic Experiencing ®
Trauma is the most avoided, ignored, denied, misunderstood and untreated cause of human suffering.
Peter Levine
Somatic Experiencing® (SE), developed by international trauma researcher Dr. Peter A. Levine, is a body-oriented approach to releasing traumatic stress and restoring inner balance. In a protected and appreciative environment, you will consciously perceive your inner feelings and reactions. SE helps you to better understand and regulate your personal “stress traffic light” – the interplay of thoughts, feelings and physical sensations.
Trauma is neither an illness nor a disorder, but a natural reaction of the body to overwhelming events. It is caused by situations that overwhelm the individual’s ability to cope, such as surgery, loss, neglect, prenatal stress, natural disasters or seemingly harmless events such as a fall. The decisive factor is not the event itself, but the way in which the body and psyche react to it.
SE aims to transform the stress patterns and symptoms caused by trauma. People with traumatic experiences often react to neutral stimuli as if they were still in danger. Feelings, thoughts and behaviors remain linked to the past. By activating resources and targeted body awareness, SE helps people to find more serenity, joie de vivre and inner stability.

The healing process is supported with techniques such as tracking, titration and oscillating between stressful sensations and strengthening resources. These methods discharge blocked energy, promote the self-regulation of the nervous system and help to integrate trauma in such a way that it no longer restricts life. Processed traumas can be remembered and reflected upon without renewed stress reactions.
SE can be easily integrated into everyday life and strengthens body awareness. You learn to consciously navigate between moments of tension and relaxation and maintain your inner balance in the long term. In addition to resolving traumatic experiences, SE also supports the prevention of stress and strengthens your resilience.
