Case Presentation:
Somatic Experiencing
About this Case Presentation
Somatic Experiencing is healing trauma from the bottom-up approach, using the body to heal trauma and dysregulation. It is used when clients are stuck in patterns of fight, flight, or freeze, SE helps us release, recover, and become more resilient. The old adage goes, “You must feel it in order to heal it.” But the adage should say, “You must feel it in the body in order to heal it because your body always keeps the score.”
