Practices that may help
- Somatic Experiencing, Honestly Explained
Somatic Experiencing, developed by Peter Levine, proposes that overwhelming experience leaves incomplete survival energy "stuck" in the body, and that gently completing and discharging that activation — in small, titrated doses, moving between activation and calm (pendulation) — helps the nervous system settle. The body-awareness skills it teaches are low-risk and increasingly studied, but the evidence base is still emerging and the "stored energy" model is a clinical theory, not established physiology. These are self-regulation skills; trauma work belongs with a trained professional. - Track body sensation (the felt sense)
Follow raw physical sensation with curiosity — tingling, warmth, pressure — rather than the storyline.
Somatic Experiencing, Honestly Explained - Titration (work in tiny, tolerable doses)
Approach a hard sensation or memory in small sips, not all at once, so you stay regulated.
Somatic Experiencing, Honestly Explained - Track the felt sense during pendulation
As you move between resource and difficulty, notice how each sensation changes in quality — this tracking is the therapy.
Pendulation, Made Practical - Acknowledge: name what is hard
Place a hand on your heart and say, "This is a moment of suffering."
The Self-Compassion Break - Pendulation (move between activation and calm)
Oscillate attention between a charged sensation and a place of safety or ease in the body.
Somatic Experiencing, Honestly Explained - Ground in the present when the past intrudes
Use the senses and the room to signal "that was then, this is now" when memory floods the body.
The Body Keeps the Score, Honestly Explained - Titrate the story — tell only the edges of a difficult narrative
When a story feels too big to tell fully, tell only its outer layer — what you noticed before it escalated — rather than the most intense part.
Titration in Somatic Practice, Made Practical - Tracking shadow material through the body
Notice where in the body suppressed reactions live — tension, constriction, or deadness are somatic shadow clues.
Shadow Work - Run a post-discomfort review after each approach
After engaging with discomfort, explicitly confirm that you survived and what you learned.
