Following a sudden collision or impact, the body often remains locked in survival mode long after physical injuries have healed. Somatic Experiencing offers a gentle pathway to release stored stress and restore ease.
Post-Accident Symptoms
Unresolved shock trauma may present as persistent muscle tension, hypervigilance while driving, shallow breathing, sleep disruptions, or sudden waves of anxiety triggered by sensory reminders.
By gently tracking physical sensations in a safe environment, SE enables your nervous system to complete frozen self-defense responses and discharge trapped energy without needing to re-live the trauma.
A Safe, Paced Approach to Restoring Balance
Recovery happens when the nervous system learns that the danger has passed. Together, we work at a comfortable pace, helping your body rediscover its natural sense of stability, grounding, and peace.
When the accident is over, but your body is still responding
A serious accident can happen in seconds, giving the body little time to process what is happening. Even after physical injuries have healed, tension, heightened alertness, fear or numbness may remain. Somatic Experiencing offers a gradual way of exploring these responses without requiring you to relive the accident.
