Somatic Experiencing® is a body-based approach to trauma and nervous system dysregulation that works at a different level from conventional therapy. It doesn't treat trauma as a story to be retold or a belief system to be restructured. It treats trauma as a physiological event, one held in the nervous system, and works to resolve it there.
