Trauma Healing

Somatic Experiencing®

 

The Trauma healing work brings us back home; in a natural way, it awakens us to a new life. Somatic Experiencing® is a body-awareness approach to healing trauma.  It is the result of over forty years of observation, research and hands-on development by Dr. Peter Levine. Based upon the realisation that human beings have an innate ability to overcome the effects of trauma, Somatic Experiencing has touched the lives of many thousands. This trauma healing work restores self-regulation and returns a sense of aliveness, relaxation and wholeness to traumatised individuals who have had these precious gifts taken away. Trauma can result from almost any experience: birth, falls, abuse, surgery, car accident, a death in the family, chronic pain and so on. Typical symptoms may be anxiety, irrational fear, physical pain, emotional distress, insomnia or panic attacks. For more information, please search on www.traumahealing.com.

 

 

Sensing the Body

- enriching your being -

 

In our body we carry many emotional memories and traumas which block us from deep, free breathing and a vital flow. In this way, we forget the ability to listen to our inner messages. Trauma is experienced as too much, too fast, too soon and it overruns the stimulus in the body, provokes deep feelings of helplessness and affects the nervous system. The trauma is held in the body, and only through body awareness and understanding can they be slowly dissolved and healed.

Sensing the Body is an opportunity to softly and gently look at new ways to approach shock, and trauma and how to be healed;
to release deep-held psycho-physical tensions; to rediscover the instinctive rhythm of your body by melting frozenness, completing the fight and flight responses, and reconnecting with your own reorienting response and innate healing power that you have inside; rediscover your most authentic needs, and nourish them. In a trusting and loving space, you will learn to connect with your own resources; to look at boundaries and start to respect them; to trust the body; to understand how trauma is created and what it does to us; to find out resources which will support your traumata and your daily life; to open up compassion, love and acceptance for yourself;
 to connect with states of being, relaxation and meditation. Dance, sharing and meditation will help to build the ground for this special journey towards a more healthy and vibrant body.
