Everything you need to know about Somatic Experience therapy.
SE is a body-oriented therapeutic approach developed by Dr. Peter Levine to resolve trauma and stress responses. It works with the nervous system’s innate capacity for self-regulation and healing.
Unlike talk therapy, SE focuses on body sensations, not just thoughts and emotions. It works directly with the nervous system to release stored survival energy — helping where talk therapy alone cannot reach.
SE helps with trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, grief, developmental trauma, early childhood wounding, and somatic (body-level) symptoms of stress.
In a 100-minute session, Annapurna guides you to gently track sensations in your body, expand your capacity for regulation, and release held patterns of tension or collapse — at your own pace.
Yes. SE is specifically designed for trauma survivors. It uses pendulation — moving between activation and calm — to ensure the process never overwhelms the nervous system.
This varies per person. Many clients notice shifts in 4–6 sessions; deeper or developmental trauma may benefit from longer work. Annapurna will discuss your needs in the first session.
Yes. SE sessions work well online. Annapurna is experienced in virtual sessions and can guide you effectively through the process remotely.
