Somatic Experiencing is a body-oriented therapeutic approach developed by Peter Levine to resolve trauma and stress. It focuses on the physiological responses to traumatic events, helping individuals release pent-up energy and tension. This method recognizes that trauma can get stuck in the body, leading to chronic stress and emotional dysregulation. By working with the body's natural healing processes, Somatic Experiencing aims to restore a sense of safety and resilience.
