Join Peter A Levine, PhD, the Developer and Founder of Somatic Experiencing® (SE™), a naturalistic and neurobiological approach to healing trauma, in this four-part workshop series exploring how SE integrates simple and proven somatic techniques to aid in calming the nervous system, release stored trauma, and promote healing.

Somatic Experiencing® is a body-oriented therapeutic model applied in multiple professions and professional settings—psychotherapy, medicine, coaching, teaching, and physical therapy—for healing trauma and other stress disorders. It is based on a multidisciplinary intersection of physiology, psychology, ethology, biology, neuroscience, indigenous healing practices, and medical biophysics. It has been helping individuals find release and healing from trauma & stress for more than four decades.

In this transformative four-part series, Dr Levine will demonstrate a deep understanding of how complex trauma originates––and how somatic-based therapy can help clients address, process, and begin healing more quickly and effectively.

Through four 90-minute live sessions, Dr Levine will personally guide you through client demonstration videos. At every step, he will pause to explain his approach and techniques, generously sharing his wisdom. By immersing yourself in this experience, you will gain insight into a method that can be immediately integrated into your practice, enabling you to access the power of somatics to heal trauma and restore a sense of wholeness, peace and well-being.

What you will learn:

  • Conduct a physical way of releasing complex trauma from the body

  • Differentiate what unfolds organically in the body versus focusing on the story content

  • Evaluate the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system for signs that indicate dysregulation

  • Define the Ventral Vagal state of vitality and well-being

  • Adjust bracing patterns created from overactivity in the sympathetic nervous system

  • Demonstrate somatic skills that allow your client to more comfortably express difficult emotions, facilitate release, and increase resiliency

  • Practice the skill of Pendulation, Dr. Levine’s process of expanding and contracting to release trauma held in the body

  • Utilize sound and movement as a way to shift a nervous system state from a freeze response to presence 

  • Address complex trauma by reinforcing choice and curiosity

  • Apply body-based therapeutic techniques during an online session with a client
