The Mind-Body Therapy That Changed My Life

Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a profound healing tool. This mind-body therapy has freed my body from trauma—and that, my friend, is a miracle! I wanted to demystify SE for you, so I called in an expert. Today’s Big Talk with renowned SE practitioner Dave Berger is a beautiful overview of a practice that can help you heal emotional wounds, regulate your nervous system and lower your stress levels.   RESOURCES:   The following are helpful resources and books I mention in the episode:  Meditation is a powerful way to calm your thoughts and your body. I’d love to send you two of my favorite meditations for free.

In Chapter 8, “Freeing What’s Frozen,” I dive into my experience with SE. Dave Berger is a somatic psychotherapist, physical therapist and bodyworker. You can learn more about him and his diverse array of practices here.  In this episode of the podcast, I reference a video of Peter Levine, PhD, working with a war veteran to resolve a trauma-induced tic.
