Somatic Experiencing® at Imagine Recovery Counseling

Restore your nervous system. Reclaim your life.

We offer Somatic Experiencing® (SE) a gentle, body-based approach to healing trauma, stress, and dysregulation. Developed by Dr. Peter Levine, SE works with the nervous system to safely release stored survival energy, resolve incomplete fight/flight/freeze responses, and support long-term resilience.

In a world full of “somatic-informed” therapy, it’s important to know: only therapists who’ve completed the rigorous 3-year professional training are credentialed as Somatic Experiencing Practitioners (SEPs). Our SEPs bring the full depth of this method, combining deep clinical skill, attunement, and embodied presence.

Somatic Experiencing can help with:

• PTSD and complex trauma

• Anxiety, shutdown, and chronic overwhelm

• Medical trauma and chronic pain

• Dissociation and feeling “stuck”

• Developmental and attachment trauma

You don’t need to relive your entire trauma to heal from it. SE supports slow, titrated healing, one moment at a time, with your body leading the way.

What to expect:

You’ll be invited to notice subtle shifts in sensation, track nervous system states, and gently complete patterns of self-protection. No forced catharsis. No rushing. Just a return to inner safety and regulation, at your pace.
