Trauma Research Foundation presents Integrate: Mind-Body Practice for Working Through Trauma
traumaresearchfoundation.org/integrate-mind-body-p…

Overview:
Somatic Experiencing®(SE™), developed by Dr. Levine, is a naturalistic and neurobiological approach to the treatment of trauma and other stress related disorders. SE offers a framework to assess where a person is “stuck” in the fight, flight, fawn, freeze, or collapse responses and provides clinical tools to resolve these fixated physiological states. It offers practical skills appropriate to various healing and helping professions, including medical and mental health providers, first responders, educators, and more.

Trauma can come from many things like war and abuse, but it can also come from a difficult birth, an automobile accident, loss of a loved one, or even an invisible threat that stokes fear. These protective mechanisms can get stuck in the body and many become frozen in the past, unable to be fully present in the here and now, and unable to move forward in life with ease and joy. For some, traumatic experiences may lead to chronic fear, anxiety, and depression, as well as various physical symptoms, like chronic pain, IBS, etc.

During this unique program, through personal stories, guided exercises, and theory, Dr. Levine will teach us how the SE approach gently facilitates the release of thwarted survival energy bound in the body, thus addressing the root cause of trauma symptoms, allowing us to better manage stressful times without overload, burnout, or regretful transgressions.
