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, there are ways to make living with it more manageable.  Addressing sources of stress is a crucial part of reducing the impact of misophonia, along with understanding what communicates "safety" vs. "threat" to your nervous system and making decisions accordingly.
​ Somatic Experiencing ties in nicely when working with misophonia, as it helps the nervous system to release and deal with stress better.
