What is Somatic Experiencing®?

Somatic Experiencing (SE™) aims to resolve symptoms of stress, shock, and trauma that accumulate in our bodies. When we are stuck in patterns of fight, flight, or freeze, SE helps us release, recover, and become more resilient. It is a body-oriented therapeutic model applied in multiple professions and professional settings—psychotherapy, medicine, coaching, teaching, and physical therapy—for healing trauma and other stress disorders. It is based on a multidisciplinary intersection of physiology, psychology, ethology, biology, neuroscience, indigenous healing practices, and medical biophysics and has been clinically applied for more than four decades. It is the life’s work of Dr. Peter A. Levine.

How it works

The Somatic Experiencing approach facilitates the completion of self-protective motor responses and the release of thwarted survival energy bound in the body, thus addressing the root cause of trauma symptoms. This is approached by gently guiding clients to develop increasing tolerance for difficult bodily sensations and suppressed emotions.

What our students have to sayTestimonials

Somatic Experiencing has been the most effective method for me to release the physical stress of past traumas and unresolved issues. It is very effective for those with military and conflict experiences and it has been a gentle yet efficient way to reduce symptoms of chronic stress. I am pursuing certification because I love helping others the way it has helped me. It’s amazing!!

The beginner modules of Somatic Experiencing training have opened up new pathways of embodiment for me. My capacity to sit with my own emotions has expanded through the supportive triad practices and study groups. I now share resources and hold space for clients with greater ease. I'm truly looking forward to the upcoming modules. Thank you.

Somatic Experiencing (SE) has profoundly transformed my legal practice by reshaping how I engage with accused persons, judges, police, and prison officers. By integrating SE techniques, I’ve developed a deeper awareness of my own physiological responses to stress and conflict, allowing me to remain grounded and present during high-stakes interactions. This has been particularly transformative when working with accused persons—I approach them with greater empathy and patience, recognizing how trauma may influence their behavior. Instead of reacting defensively to hostility or withdrawal, I use regulated breathing and body awareness to stay calm, which often helps de-escalate tension and fosters trust. Similarly, in courtrooms, my ability to remain centered under pressure has improved my communication with judges, enabling clearer, more composed arguments even in emotionally charged cases.
