Episode 7 - Special Guest Doug Smith, LCPC on “Somatic Experiencing”

Somatic Experiencing focuses on the regulation of stress, anxiety, mood and self control. Peter Levine, the developer of Somatic Experiencing, observed in the '70s that trauma is in the nervous system – not in the event. Somatic Experiencing is a method using deep body awareness to sense the activation of these symptoms, and help dissolve them before they become fully expressed. Doug Smith has been trained in and is practitioner of Somatic Experiencing. He will join us to share his knowledge and experience with these methods. Check out Doug's website at www.mindmeetsbody.com Plus our regular feature “A Minute on the Mind” where Dr. Mark Kiefner, Clinical Director of Bayside Neurorehabilitation Services, brings us some of the latest and most interesting in brain research.
