SomatoEmotional Release works to release tensions in our tissues stored from emotional traumas. When we have a sympathetic state of fight or flight, as a result of feeling helpless, trapped in a situation we didn't know what to do or didn't know how to make sense of what was happening, our body stores that memory and energy in our tissues. These memories can be triggered in our daily interactions, flashing us back to these original feelings. This uncompleted event--a moment frozen in time--keeps our tissues all primed to fight, flee, freeze, or please whenever triggered. We respond with knee jerk emotions of anger, anxiety, grief, and more. This stored tension leads to pain and dis-ease.
SER helps the client renegotiate life's traumas both big and small to bring resolve and healing. With new eyes we can look at the situation and correct the false perceptions made at the time. We come away knowing what is true about who we are. Tension is released and we feel physically, mentally, and emotionally more calm and at peace. The nervous system has been allowed to reset, and we can be present, allowing us to connect more with God, our higher self and others.
