One of the more unique aspects of Wendy’s practice is Somatic Experiencing™, a body-oriented approach to the healing of trauma and other stress disorders.
Whether you have a keen interest in Somatic Experiencing™ (SE) or have never heard of it, it’s a fascinating therapeutic technique worth exploring.
This body-oriented approach is the life work of Dr. Peter Levine, who holds a doctorate in medical biophysics from the University of California at Berkeley and one in psychology from International University. SE is the result of decades of study of stress physiology, ethology, biology, neuroscience, indigenous healing practices and medical biophysics – together with 45 years of successful clinical work.
Dr. Levine has practiced and taught at treatment centres, hospitals, and pain clinics throughout the world. He’s the bestselling author of Waking the Tiger (published in 22 languages) was a stress consultant for NASA during the development of the Space Shuttle program, receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award from the United States Association for Body Psychotherapy in 2010.
