Somatic Experiencing (SE) Touch

SE Touch uses light touch and holds to improve the functioning of the central nervous system.

What is SE Touch is good for?

  • In working with early shock trauma that has a primarily physical origin (particularly when this occurs in the child/infant’s pre-verbal development phase). This is especially true when the client’s symptoms are manifesting as primarily somatic complaints.

  • In working with developmental disturbances that have a primarily physical origin, such as extended hospitalizations.

  • When it is helpful to the client to learn to differentiate between appropriate, caring touch and inappropriate, harmful touch.

  • When touch helps the client integrate his or her change process more fully through all layers of self.

  • When touch helps the client remain resourceful in managing his or her activation levels.

  • When the use of verbal language is limited, either due to disability or language barriers.

Craniosacral Therapy

  • Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle hands-on technique that uses a light touch to examine membranes and movement of the fluids in and around the central nervous system. Relieving tension in the central nervous system promotes a feeling of well-being by eliminating pain and boosting health and immunity.
