What is Somatic Experiencing™?
Somatic therapies connect the mind and body. We store stress and the symptoms of depression and anxiety in our nervous system. Working with the limbic and nervous system brings mental, physical, and spiritual ease to those who have survived trauma.
Types of somatic therapy include Somatic Experiencing™, the Hakomi Method, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).
Here's an article from the NYT about Somatic Experiencing™
About Dr. Elyne
Elyne Selu, PhD, author, speaker, somatic therapist, and researcher combines neuropsychology, Jungian psychology, and dance therapy with ancient medicine practices.
Students and clients discover the wisdom and healing power of their bodies. By building resourcefulness into the limbic system, mental distress is alleviated.
Dr. Elyne's research into chronic illness and trauma showed that those who develop a more loving and attuned relationship with their bodies and symptoms discovered physical ease, clear thinking, and an authentic sense of self.
Here is a link to a journal article by Dr. Elyne about her research into multiple sclerosis and Authentic Movement.
