What Somatic Experiencing® Can Help With

Somatic Experiencing® is particularly effective for individuals experiencing the lingering effects of trauma, chronic stress, or nervous system dysregulation. Rather than focusing solely on narrative or cognitive insight, SE gently supports the body’s innate capacity to restore balance and resilience.

This approach may be helpful for concerns such as:

• Developmental or relational trauma

• Anxiety, panic, and chronic stress

• Attachment wounds and relationship patterns

• Medical or birth trauma

• Somatic symptoms related to unresolved stress

Sessions move at a pace that prioritizes safety, choice, and attunement.

What to Expect in Somatic Experiencing® Therapy

In Somatic Experiencing® therapy, attention is paid to bodily sensations, emotional experience, and nervous system responses as they arise in the present moment. Therapy is collaborative and non-overwhelming, allowing patterns of activation and settling to unfold gradually.

At Marin Therapy Partners, Somatic Experiencing® is integrated within a broader, trauma-informed psychotherapeutic framework. This means sessions are tailored to your history, goals, and relational context.
