What Is Somatic Experiencing? How Trauma Lives in the Body with Jennifer Goggin
Q: For listeners, what do you mean by somatic experiencing, and how does it differ from other trauma therapies?
Somatic experiencing focuses on regulating the nervous system through sensations and gradual exposure rather than forcing a full narrative of the trauma; it builds resources first and tailors pacing to the individual's nervous system, which can lead to more sustainable healing than approaches that demand immediate emotional recounting.
