Somatic Experiencing Therapy
Somatic experiencing is a therapy approach that integrates the body into the healing process. Unlike traditional talk therapy, somatic experiencing involves focusing on physical sensations, exploring how the body responds to triggers, and identifying where trauma or stress may be held in the body. Participants may be encouraged to explore movement and engage in specific exercises during the session to address and release stored trauma or stress. Dr. Slade incorporates somatic experiencing into sessions at varying levels based on the individual's needs.
