SOMATIC EXPERIENCING®
with Paula Josa-Jones, MA, CMA, MSMET, SEP, TTEAM
Krishnamurti
Trauma may begin as acute stress from a perceived life threat or as the end product of cumulative stress. Both types of stress can seriously impair a person's ability to function with resilience and ease. Trauma may result from a wide variety of stressors such as accidents, invasive medical procedures, sexual or physical assault, emotional abuse, neglect, war, natural disasters, loss, birth trauma, or the corrosive stressors of ongoing fear and conflict. How It Works:
The Somatic Experiencing approach facilitates the completion of self-protective motor responses and the release of thwarted survival energy bound in the body, thus addressing the root cause of trauma symptoms. This is approached by gently guiding clients to develop increasing tolerance for difficult bodily sensations and suppressed emotions.Somatic Experiencing® is for:
Authentic Movement, a contemplative, mystical movement practice that nourishes creativity and imagination, and a deeper sensing of body and psyche. Somatic Practice - Kathy Kain's professional development and training in touch and trauma recovery. I have been studying Kathy's Somatic Skills, Somatics of Emotions and Somatics of Complex Emotions over the past two years, and consider her perspectives to be an important and clarifying aspect of my trauma-informed somatic work. Laban Movement Analysis (LMA), helps us understand where movement may lack coherence, feeling and connectivity, by looking at the overall bodily, spatial and expressive map of one's movement. Paula also works with perspectives drawn from her study of Body-Mind Centering®. Embodied Equine Experiencing may be appropriate for those wishing to discover the powerful, integrative presence of horses. Paula's book, Our Horses, Ourselves: Discovering the Common Body is a guide to deepening communication and understanding through the healing presence of horses.
