Somatic Experiencing Therapy (SE) is a groundbreaking therapeutic method that addresses trauma by focusing on the body’s physical responses. Developed by Dr. Peter Levine, SE recognizes that trauma isn’t just a mental experience – it’s also stored in the body as tension, numbness, or hypervigilance. Unlike traditional talk therapy, which often centers on verbal processing, SE helps you tune into bodily sensations to release trapped energy and complete the stress cycle. This approach is gentle and non-invasive, allowing you to heal without reliving painful memories.
At LAMH, our therapists use SE to support clients facing challenges like car accidents, childhood trauma, or chronic anxiety. By guiding you to notice physical sensations – such as tightness in the chest or tingling in the hands – we help you gradually discharge stress and restore balance. This method is especially powerful for those who feel “stuck” or disconnected, offering a path to wholeness through the body’s innate wisdom.

Somatic Experiencing Therapy offers a unique path to healing by addressing trauma through the body’s natural responses. Trauma often leaves individuals feeling stuck in survival mode, with symptoms like hypervigilance, numbness, or chronic pain. SE helps by guiding you to notice and release these physical sensations, allowing your nervous system to complete the stress cycle and return to balance.
Through gentle exercises and mindful awareness, you’ll learn to discharge trapped energy, reducing the intensity of trauma-related symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, or emotional overwhelm. This process fosters a sense of safety and calm, helping you reconnect with your body and emotions in a way that feels manageable and empowering.
At LAMH, we often integrate SE with other therapies, such as EMDR, to provide a comprehensive approach to recovery. This combination addresses both the physical and emotional layers of trauma, supporting your journey toward lasting peace and well-being.
