Welcome to Restoring Resilience.  Somatic Experiencing (SE) can be particularly helpful in restoring balance and supporting healing after a traumatic experience such as an accident, injury, PTSD, chronic stress, anxiety, childhood abuse, or recovery after an operation.  SE may reduce symptoms of traumatic events by helping your body process the physical and emotional tension associated with trauma.  This can lead you toward a more holistic awareness of your whole being, which can facilitate healing, growth, and transformation.

Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body-centered approach to healing trauma developed by Dr. Peter Levine. SE helps you access your body's natural ability to heal from trauma and stress.  This approach can be helpful in restoring balance and stability in your nervous system, increasing resilience,  access to optimal states, and navigating challenges with life transitions.

ABOUT ME

Brian Heery, Ph.D., SEP

 Practicing Somatic Experiencing (SE) with clients over the past three years has been an amazing journey of discovery.   Currently, I'm assisting an SE group of psychotherapists and bodyworkers going through the three-year training program run by Somatic Experiencing International.  As an experienced SE practitioner, educator, and coach, I've seen the positive impact this modality has had on many individuals.  As a fifth-degree black belt in the Japanese martial art of Aikido, I can help you practice and discover how to strengthen your own center and ground, increasing your experience of balance and stability.  Since earning a Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psychology in 2003 I've worked with corporations, and individuals in various settings bringing the exploration of the intersection of the body, mind, and spirit to people of all backgrounds. Having experience as a USA national coach in gymnastics, I have the background and insight to help you in your personal healing journey, whether you are a competitive athlete, recreational athlete, or someone searching for greater balance and stability to better cope with life's challenges.
