                    What can Somatic Experiencing® help with?

                    The key reason for working with SE® need not be an obvious traumatic event but the presence of a symptom or symptoms.  Trauma is not in the event but in the individual’s physiological reaction to it. A fairground ride, for example, might be fun for one person but terrifying for another.

                    If you'd like advice about a specific symptom, please contact your local SE Practitioner. Alternatively, email us at info@seauk.org.uk
