Somatic Experiencing focusses on releasing the trapped survival energy that the body holds on to
after an event (or events) that have been either too much, too fast, or too soon.
It works with the nervous system itself. A nervous system that may be stuck in Fight/Flight/Freeze.
This survival system is based in the limbic and lower brain functions, areas that have no language
skills at all. You simply can’t talk to it.
Somatic Experiencing involves tracking and working with these internal systems and sensations
then releasing this stuck survival energy and allowing the ‘protective self’ to safely disengage.
It means that the body can finally let go of experiences it may have been holding on to all its life.
