Autobiography of Trauma - A Healing Journey - The Evolution of Somatic Experiencing® (SE™)
Location: California - D
We all have our stories to tell; and this is mine, my trauma, my truth. Like Russian nesting dolls, it is one story folded into many others. I am now at the point in my life where I am ready to share the arc of my nested stories, my soul’s journey. It is the often-lonely path taken by an unsuspecting, unlikely, and deeply-flawed missionary.
One of the core tenets of the trauma healing method I’ve developed, {over the past fifty years} is that we don’t guide people towards confronting their traumas directly, head-on. Rather, we gently encourage them to come to the periphery of these experiences, helping them access certain pivotal positive bodily experiences first.
During my talk, I will discuss the evolution of SE and give an example of the application of this work by sharing two of my exuberant childhood experiences filled with safety, warmth, joy, and love. Implementing these powerful resources into my felt sense with support allowed me to process and come to terms with violent and terrifying experiences that occurred throughout my youth.
I hope you can join me in exploring how trauma affects us, influences us, and how we can move it through our bodies to find peace and connect with our authentic Self.
