Somatic experiencing practitioners

Somatic Experiencing International offers professional training in the Somatic Experiencing method, a body-oriented approach to resolving trauma and chronic stress. This method focuses on the nervous system, guiding practitioners to help clients complete self-protective responses and release stored survival energy. Professionals from fields like psychotherapy, medicine, physical therapy, and coaching learn practical skills through experiential training, including lectures, demonstrations, and guided practice.

The training program progresses from basic principles to intermediate and advanced levels, building skills in tracking sensations, titrating experiences, and integrating concepts like Polyvagal Theory. Practitioners develop the ability to support clients in renegotiating trauma physiology, enhancing autonomic regulation for better emotional and physical balance. This structured path equips participants to apply SE within their scope of practice, fostering resilience and measured nervous system optimization.

Certification as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner requires completing specific hours of training, personal sessions, and consultations, ensuring a deep, integrated understanding. The approach emphasizes sustainable skills for working with diverse trauma categories, from PTSD to complex syndromes. It supports professionals in creating precise interventions that align body awareness with overall health.
