What is trauma?

Most people confuse trauma with traumatic events.

Let's be clear about it! Trauma is not in the event but in the way we react and respond to it.

It is easy to understand that the same event can have different reactions in different people.

Peter Levine definition of trauma perfectly fits with that: "TRAUMA IS SOMETHING THAT IS TOO MUCH, TOO SOON AND TOO FAST" for our nervous system capacity.

When we face trauma our nervous system changes its way we handle life.

With somatic experiencing session we create the safe container to allow the nervous system to rewrite itself.
