Somatic experiencing is a biopsychological method for alleviating and treating trauma and the consequences of traumatic stress.

"Trauma is a fact of life. But it need not be a life sentence. In addition to being healing, trauma can also be transformative with the right guidance and support. Trauma has the potential to become an important force for our psychological, social, and spiritual awakening and development. "
— Dr. Peter Levine, founder of somatic experience

Tiger symbol in SE

Dr. Levine je delal s pacientko, ki je imela hude simptome tesnobe, a ji metode, ki jih je uporabljal pri delu z njo, niso pomagale. Predlagal ji je, naj si predstavlja, kot da beži pred namišljenim tigrom. Na njegovo presenečenje so njene noge začele teči na mestu, potem pa je njeno telo zajelo silovito trzanje in tresenje. »Namišljena podoba tigra je znova prebudila instinktivni odziv njenega telesa,« pojasnjuje dr. Peter Levine.

Nenadoma se je spomnila travmatične izkušnje iz svojega otroštva, ko so jo med medicinskim posegom anestezirali z etrom in je imela občutek, kot da se duši. Po tej strašni izkušnji je izgubila svojo naravno živahnost, zavzela resignirano držo in leta kasneje razvila simptome tesnobe. Njeni instinktivni gibi, ki so simulirali tek, so se zbudili ob namišljenem napadu tigra in so njenemu živčnemu sistemu omogočili, da se osvobodi odvečne mobilizirane energije, ki jo je zadrževal od medicinskega posega dalje.

 

Od takrat je tiger v Somatic Experiencing-u simbol med travmo ujete življenjske sile, ki se lahko osvobodi preko zdravilnih instinktivnih impulzov telesa.
