Cultivate Body Awareness with Somatic Experiencing

Body awareness is the practice of being present and attentive to the sensations and signals your body sends. By cultivating body awareness, you can enhance your connection with yourself, manage stress, and promote overall well-being. One effective method to develop body awareness is through Somatic Experiencing.

What is Somatic Experiencing?

Somatic Experiencing is a therapeutic approach developed by Dr. Peter A. Levine, aimed at resolving trauma and chronic stress by focusing on bodily sensations. This gentle method helps individuals release stored tension and regulate their nervous system to promote healing.

How Does Somatic Experiencing Work?

Somatic Experiencing works by guiding individuals to track bodily sensations related to past trauma or stress. Through gradual exposure and awareness of these sensations, individuals can renegotiate the fight, flight, or freeze responses that may be stuck in their nervous system.

Benefits of Somatic Experiencing:

• Release of tension and stress
• Improved emotional regulation
• Enhanced resilience to future stressors
• Increased sense of well-being
