Beyond Survival
SE™ Case Consultation & Demonstration Sessions
Intergenerational Trauma, Ancestral Influences, and Spiritual Transformation in Clinical Practice
w/ Peter A. Levine, PhD
February 7, 2027 | Live in San Diego, California + Streaming Online + Recording Included
Includes 1 SE™ Case Consultation Credit
Some patterns are deeply personal.
Others seem to move quietly through generations — shaping relationships, emotional responses, survival strategies, identity, and our experience of connection in ways that are not always fully conscious.
You are invited to join two live SE™ Case Consultation and Demonstration Sessions exploring the clinical and lived experience of intergenerational trauma, ancestral influences, embodiment, and transformation.
Through live demonstrations, Peter will work directly with SE clients (you can submit a case - info below). Together they will offer clinical insight into how inherited survival patterns may emerge through the nervous system, relationships, emotions, and embodied experience.
These sessions are designed to support both personal insight and professional learning — offering participants the opportunity to witness how somatic work can gently uncover and renegotiate deeply held patterns while maintaining regulation, safety, and presence.
Topics explored may include:
Intergenerational and inherited trauma patterns
Survival responses held in the body across time
Attachment, ancestry, and relational influences
Somatic regulation and embodied awareness
The transformation of survival energy into greater vitality, meaning, and connection
Working with emotionally charged material through titration and presence
Participants attending as witnesses will have opportunities for reflection, discussion, and clinical learning throughout the demonstrations.
Educational Objectives
Upon completion of these consultation sessions, participants will be able to:
Identify ways intergenerational trauma patterns may emerge within somatic and relational experience.
Describe how inherited survival responses can influence present-day emotional and physiological regulation.
Observe somatic approaches for supporting regulation, titration, and embodied awareness during trauma processing.
Discuss clinical considerations when working with ancestral and intergenerational themes in therapeutic settings.
Differentiate between activation, overwhelm, and regulated processing within somatic trauma work.
Demonstrate increased understanding of how SE™ principles may support work with inherited trauma patterns and relational dynamics.
Identify resources and interventions that support safety, integration, and present-moment awareness during emotionally charged processes.
