Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a form of therapy aimed at treating trauma and stress-related disorders, such as PTSD. The primary goal of SE is to modify the trauma-related stress response through bottom-up processing. It is a body oriented, mindfulness based, therapuetic model. The client's attention is directed toward internal sensations, (interoception, proprioception and kinaesthesis), as per the first steps as an entry point to the ANS, and to building resources, before attending to or arriving at cognitive or emotional processes.[1] The method was developed by Peter A. Levine.[2]
SE sessions are normally held in person and involve clients tracking their physical experiences.[3] Practitioners are often mental health practitioners such as social workers, psychologists, therapists, psychiatrists, rolfers, Feldenkrais practitioners, yoga and Daoyin therapists, educators, clergy, occupational therapists, etc.[4][5]
