    The healing of trauma is a natural process that is being initiated through becoming aware of our body, thus allowing the over-activation to find a way to discharge in a gentle way, step by step.

    With somatic experiencing, trauma can successfully be healed even if one doesn’t have memories about the event. Find out more about this workshop here.
