Introduction Somatic Experiencing® with Giselle Genillard
Somatic Experiencing®, the method of trauma healing developed by Dr. Peter Levine, offers a new and hopeful vision on Trauma. It is a naturalistic approach that unravels and reveals the mystery of human trauma, and outlines concrete steps needed to heal trauma.
Trauma, Levine said, is in the nervous system, not in the event, and occurs when an overwhelming experience becomes frozen in time. The residual energy, which arose during the event and was not discharged from the body, remains trapped in the nervous system where it causes damage to our body and mind.
Giselle Genillard
The SE® Intro will be led by Giselle Genillard.
Giselle is an experienced trauma therapist from London. She is recognized by SEI and EASE and is the founder of the English SE Organization SOSI.
The workshop lasts 2 days and offers the basic knowledge of SE® in a combination of theory and practice. You can participate in this workshop out of interest, curiosity. If you are considering starting the SE® training, EASE (European Association for Somatic Experiencing) requires that you follow the introduction.
