Sherry is a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner in training. Originally developed by Dr. Peter Levine, Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body-oriented approach to the healing of trauma and other stress disorders. Within this approach there is a focus on emotional regulation, arousal modulation, and the physiological discharge, release and completion of self-protective responses (including orienting, fight, flight and freeze). This release of traumatic shock is key to transforming PTSD and the wounds of early developmental and attachment trauma. SE uses focused awareness of bodily sensations to engage innate self-regulation and healing. Unlike traditional ‘talk therapy’ SE helps the individual develop body awareness to “renegotiate”’ and heal trauma rather than relive or re-enact trauma.
