Follow-up visits allow us to continue to work towards the desired goal from the Initial Visit. Often, multiple sessions are required to achieve the best results. Consistent self-care can prevent future issues and contribute to better overall health and wellness. Somatic Experiencing™ (SE) is non-invasive and it’s based on the idea that trauma is stored in the body, not just in the mind. It focuses on bodily sensations rather than solely on thoughts and emotions. It avoids direct and intense exposure of traumatic memories, instead approaching them indirectly and very gradually. This is accomplished by gently guiding clients to develop increasing tolerance for difficult bodily sensations and suppressed emotions, building their capacity for containment and resilience. Trauma may begin as acute stress from a perceived life-threat or as the end product of cumulative stress. Both types of stress can seriously impair a person’s ability to function with resilience and ease, and to live in the here-and-now. Trauma may result from a wide variety of stressors such as accidents, invasive medical procedures, sexual or physical assault, emotional abuse, neglect, war, racial discrimination, oppression, natural disasters, loss, birth trauma, or the corrosive stressors of ongoing fear, conflict, and chronic shaming. SE™ helps restore the authentic self with self-regulation, relaxation, wholeness, and aliveness.
