Somatic Experiencing is a psychobiological method of addressing clients’ physical and emotional trauma conditions, and helps to give voice to their experiences without a need for them to retell the story.SE was founded by Dr. Peter Levine, author of the bestseller Waking the Tiger, who developed Somatic Experiencing based on explorations of how animals deal with threat, nervous system overwhelm, and traumatic experiences on a daily basis.SE focuses on regulation of the nervous system and offers the opportunity to engage, complete, and resolve the body’s instinctual responses to traumatic experiences.For more information regarding Somatic Experiencing and the SE professional training program, please visit: traumahealing.org/TTPDr. Sam Himelstein is a youth worker, author, speaker, and licensed psychologist in the state of California.

He is the founder and CEO of the Center for Adolescent Studies, a multi-disciplinary training institute that teaches youth professionals how to build authentic relationships, practice trauma-informed care, and share mindfulness with young people.
