TRAUMA HEALING
Restoring Balance | Nervous System | Resilience
Through a specialized series of techniques that facilitate a gentle and precise interplay between memories, body sensations, and therapeutic dialogue with the therapist, traumatic events held deep within the physical body are safely discharged. This process allows the nervous system to return to a state of regulation, enabling a profound sense of emotional balance to be fully restored.
Dr. Peter Levine is the founder of this highly effective method of working with trauma symptoms. His research and experience have shown that trauma is actually stored in the nervous system and the body, rather than in the event that caused it. This approach recognizes that trauma is a widespread fact of modern life, affecting almost all of us in some way. Whether the causes are natural disasters, motor accidents, serious illness, sudden attacks, difficult births, or troubled relationships, the consequences can often be obscure or unconscious.
The symptoms of unresolved trauma are diverse, including panic attacks, chronic fatigue, obsessive/compulsive behavior, random phobias, anxiety, migraines, and insomnia. It is often the case that these symptoms do not show up immediately; they can remain hidden for years after the event that triggered them. A core definition of trauma is something that is overwhelming and happens too fast and too soon for our systems to deal with.
By focusing on the body’s natural physiology rather than reliving the details of the event, which can often be re-traumatizing, the therapist assists the client to discharge survival energies that are bound in the body. This process supports your journey toward lasting resilience and wellbeing, whether you are seeking support online or in person in Devon.
Restoring Health, Balance, and Consciousness
Trauma is a widespread fact of modern life, yet its impact is deeply personal. Whether it stems from a single event or years of stress, trauma is a physiological state held within the nervous system. By working with the body’s natural intelligence, we can discharge stored survival energy. Consequently, you can rediscover the magnificence of your Being.
The Somatic Approach to Healing
I use a specialized series of techniques to facilitate a gentle interplay between memories, body sensations, and dialogue. During our sessions, we safely discharge traumatic events held deep within the physical body.
This method was founded by Dr. Peter Levine. He recognized that the level of trauma depends on the effect it has on the person, not the event itself. For example, one person may perceive a situation as deeply traumatic while another remains unaffected. Therefore, both experiences deserve a path to resolution.
Understanding the Roots of Dysregulation
A core definition of trauma is anything that is overwhelming and happens too fast. Because these events happen too soon for our systems to process, they stay in the body. These experiences often include:
- Environmental & Accidental: Natural disasters, motor accidents, or sudden attacks.
- Medical & Physical: Serious illness, surgery, or difficult birth experiences.
- Relational & Chronic: Troubled relationships and high levels of stress.
Recognizing the Symptoms
Symptoms of unresolved trauma are diverse. Sometimes, they remain hidden for years before surfacing. Currently, I support clients navigating:
- Emotional: Anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias.
- Physical: Chronic fatigue, migraines, and insomnia.
- Behavioural: Obsessive patterns and nervous system dysregulation.
A Safe Path to Resilience
In my practice, we do not need to relive the details of your story. Reliving the past can often be re-traumatizing. Instead, we work directly through the physiology. By assisting the body to release bound survival energies, we allow the nervous system to return to a state of regulation.
This process does more than just resolve symptoms. Additionally, it supports a return to Health and Consciousness. As a result, you can move through life with greater presence and emotional balance.
