Body-Oriented Therapy and Somatic Experiencing in Groningen

Experiencing stress and a loss of resilience?

  • Do you feel as if you are constantly “ON”?
  • Do you often feel restless and find it hard to truly relax?
  • Have you been through distressing or overwhelming experiences that still affect how you feel today?
  • Do you often feel uneasy, tense, or angry?
  • Do you frequently feel withdrawn, low, or anxious?
  • Do you often experience tension in your body that does not go away?
  • Do you find it difficult to sense your own boundaries and to express them?
  • These can be signs of chronic stress, burnout, or trauma.

In my practice in Groningen, I work as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner®.

You are welcome to work with me if you would like to become more familiar with sensing your body, regulating tension, and understanding how stress shows up for you.

Change can arise when we understand how our body responds to what we experience and remember,
and how this shapes our emotions, thoughts, and behavior.

What is Somatic Experiencing®?

Somatic Experiencing® is a body-oriented therapeutic approach for stress- and trauma-related symptoms. It focuses on how stressful and overwhelming experiences can continue to affect the body and nervous system.

The approach helps you become more aware of bodily signals and gently explore responses such as tension, freezing, fight or flight. By working gradually and with attention to safety, new experiences of regulation, resilience and recovery can develop.

Somatic Experiencing® can be helpful after experiences such as accidents, medical procedures, physical or emotional trauma, sexual abuse or violence, loss, difficult life events or prolonged stress and pressure.

Somatic Experiencing® is used within different professional fields, including physiotherapy, psychotherapy, medicine and coaching, always within the practitioner’s professional scope of practice.
