Somatic Experience: A New Dawn in Mental Health and Trauma-Informed Training
At the core of trauma-informed practice, lies understanding and responding to the symptoms and behaviors resulting from the experience of trauma. One exciting method of addressing this is by using somatic experience, a form of alternative therapy that emphasizes the importance of the body's role in understanding and treating trauma.
"Somatic experiencing bores down to recognizing and releasing traumatic shock, which is key to transforming trauma and the wounds of emotional and early developmental attachment trauma," says Peter Levine, the founder of this method.
Unlocking trauma is like uncovering a time bomb, carefully diffusing the ticking parts. This underlines the poignant relevance of trauma-informed practitioners. They are cognizant of the pervasive impact of trauma, stepping up to become the 'bomb experts,' proficient and compassionate, lending their trained sensitivity to the victims, while ensuring their own mental health is unscathed.
Understanding Trauma
To truly shed light on somatic experience, one needs to build the right foundation about trauma. Trauma resonates differently for everyone; it could be an acute response to a threatening event, or chronic, resulting from continuous stress. Often, trauma saturates the individual with symptoms like anxiety, mood swings, insomnia, and panic attacks.
