Ariane Fuechtner on Somatic Experiencing

Therapy Talk with It's Complicated

Most therapists like to occasionally explain to their clients how the nervous system plays into the issues at hand, but did you know that there is a body-oriented approach called Somatic Experiencing that has the understanding of humans' survival response at it's core? In this episode, Johanne asks trauma-therapist Ariane Fuechtner to give an overview of how Somatic Experiencing works. She explains just how creative Somatic Experiencing is, why we can't just shake off trauma like other mammals, and much more.
