Somatic Experiencing (S.E.) is a talk therapy that tracks and trusts the client’s fight, flight, and freeze responses: the autonomic nervous system. By attuning and attending to changes in breath, skin color, the eyes, muscle tone, and movement, S.E. helps to free the energy bound by the “story.” The activation-discharge cycle of the nervous system can be restored – resulting in symptom resolution and relief from syndromal conditions. www.traumahealing.com
