Mindfulness and Somatic Experiencing

I spent 4 days training in Somatic Experiencing (SE) this past weekend.    It is a method for resolving trauma symptoms and relieving chronic stress.   This framework observes where a person is “stuck” in the fight, flight, freeze, or collapse responses and provide therapeutic tools to resolve these states.  I appreciate the broad definition of trauma to include: accidents, surgery, chronic pain, chronic stress and assault.  It is yet another way to apply mindfulness, mindfulness to your own internal state, what is going on in your body.  SE is a process to assist the body to complete a natural process and return to equilibrium.
