Understanding Somatic Experiencing Therapy

Somatic Experiencing Therapy (SE) sees trauma as held within the body, rather than just the mind. Key principles include:

• Body Awareness: Focusing on physical sensations to locate and release stored tension.

• Self-Regulation: Learning how to self-soothe and regulate emotional responses through body awareness.

• Gradual Process: Working through trauma at a pace set by the client, minimizing risk of retraumatization.

Our Somatic Experiencing Approach

At New Vision Wellness, our application of SE involves:

1. Sensory Awareness

2. Titration

Working in small, manageable increments to process trauma-related responses, fostering a sense of safety.

3. Resource Building

Developing internal and external resources to enhance a sense of safety and capability.
