As an experienced practitioner of Somatic Experiencing (SE), EMDR and Psychodrama, I use body based action methods to bring clients into the heart of their stories. SE brings awareness to the connection between sensations and affect to free up the tangles in the nervous system caused by traumatic events that can result in living out of alignment with our true nature. I have enjoying continuing my learning as an assistant and session provider at all levels of SE training, as well as participating in 7+ Master classes with Peter Levine. I run Psycho Drama groups as well as run an ongoing supervision group for clinicians using the action methods of Psycho drama and SE to deepen the felt sense of the resonant field. Psychodrama is a rich modality that blends seamlessly with Somatic Experiencing. By inviting clients to show their stories through reversing roles with characters in their lives, both interpersonal and intra-psychic, clients quickly come into the somatic senses of the character in their personal narrative. Once clients become embodied into the memory, they are more easily able to tune into their senses. This opens the path to facilitate the SE process of healing the wounds in their hearts and in their relationships by unraveling the knots blocking them from being in a settled state of presence. We can then move back in to the action of the narrative to rewrite the story by bringing in the healed self, who now is able to see the story with clear eyes. Much like the Reprocessing of EMDR, Psychodrama and SE woven together brings individuals, couples and families into a rich engaging healing journey that allows for the re-creation of their lives with a renewed sense of empowerment, self love, and a deeper attunement with themselves and their loved ones. SE on it’s own or blended with my other modalities provides openings into healing on many levels. Healing the nervous system can heal at the cellular level creating change in the epigenetic stories of our lives. It is an honor and joy to see the power of change that these modality’s offer that can rewrite the stories of generations to come.
