Somatic Experiencing

​Anytime the body feels threatened or overwhelmed (whether the threat is real or perceived) and is not able to reach resolution, trauma can get stored in the body.  Unresolved trauma rears it's ugly head in a number of ways (addiction, anxiety, depression, relational difficulties, etc.) often outside of one's awareness.  Somatic Experiencing is a powerful way to work with unresolved trauma and help the nervous system reorganize so one can go about life with a sense of ease.

Misophonia Support

While there is no cure for misophonia (yet!) there are ways to make living with it more manageable.  I suggest a two-prong approach that involves working with an audiologist (to learn about options for sound management) and a mental health therapist (to address the personal and relational stress that comes along with having/living with misophonia). Somatic Experiencing ties in nicely when working with misophonia, as it helps the nervous system to release and deal with stress better.
