Somatic Experiencing® Clinical Case w/ Peter A Levine, PhD

Developed by Peter A Levine, Ph.D., Somatic Experiencing® (SE™) is a naturalistic and neurobiological approach to treating trauma and other stress-related disorders. SE offers a framework to assess where a person is “stuck” in the trauma responses of fight, flight, freeze, or collapse and provides practical tools appropriate to aid professionals as well as the general public in healing the effects of trauma. SE support guides people to be fully present, in the here and now, and able to move forward in life and personal relationships.

During this program, Dr. Levine will examine through an adult client session, how “bottom-up” (non-verbal) processing aids in the discovery of our innate self-protective responses to threats, establishes felt boundaries, and can foster a deeper connection with our authentic Selves. It is in this connection with ourselves that we can better connect to others.  

  • Demonstrate SE tools for Self- regulation.

  • Differentiate between top-down and bottom-up processing and discuss how they can work together.

  • Classify the trauma response as a set of defensive bodily reactions mobilized to protect us.

  • Describe how shame, defeat, and humiliation, associated with the original traumatic event, replay themselves repeatedly in the body.

  • Define how trauma-based perceptions remain fundamentally unchanged until the internal experience of the body changes.
