Welcome to a comprehensive guide to Somatic Experiential Therapy (SET), a powerful approach to healing and growth. In this series, we'll explore what SET is, how it works, what it's used for, and how you can benefit from it. 

Somatic Experiential Therapy (often abbreviated as SET) is a holistic approach to healing trauma and restoring well-being. SET was developed by Drs. Peter A. Levine, a pioneer in the field of trauma therapy, developed and recognized that trauma is not just a mental or emotional experience, but is deeply rooted in the body.  At the heart of SET is a focus on understanding that traumatic experiences can overwhelm our natural coping abilities and leave a lasting impression on our nervous systems. These unresolved traumatic traces can manifest in a variety of symptoms, including anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and relationship difficulties. 

Unlike traditional talk therapy, which primarily works with the cognitive mind, SET works directly with the body's innate wisdom and self-regulatory mechanisms. SET aims to release the built-up tension and energy associated with traumatic experiences by gently guiding individuals to tune into the sensations and rhythms of their own bodies. 

In SET, therapists act as caring guides, creating a safe and supportive environment in which clients can explore their inner landscapes at their own pace. Through gentle interventions and mindfulness-based practices, individuals can renegotiate their relationship with traumatic substances and regain a sense of safety, resilience, and vitality.
