I considered myself a trauma therapist and had done various trainings that focused on trauma education. As I was working with clients who had experienced trauma, I noticed that they often reported feeling uncomfortable physical sensations and symptoms when they talked about their current struggles. I understood this because when I felt \u201ctriggered\u201d by something that was happening in the present that reminded me of the past, I would feel my heart rate increase, my breathing become shallow<\/span>,<span data-contrast=\"none\"> and my gut tighten. I didn\u2019t always feel \u201cfeelings\u201d when this happened<\/span>,<span data-contrast=\"none\"> but I would feel the distress in my body. I intuitively knew that what I was doing with my clients was helpful. However, I felt there was more I could be doing to help my clients access their trauma experiences in a deeper and more meaningful way.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Enter Peter Levine\u2026 One day I went to a conference and Bessel Van Der Kolk was speaking. He showed a video of Peter Levine working with a client using an approach he referred to as Somatic Experiencing (SE\u2122). This was in the early 2000\u2019s and I had never heard of his work. But as soon as I watched him, I understood that this was the missing piece. This was how I could access trauma not only in my clients but in myself. Healing could then begin in a way I had never imagined would be possible.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">At that time, there were no SE trainings in the Midwest. So, I asked a very good friend and colleague of mine, Suz Peroutka, to travel around the country with me and take this SE\u2122 training. For some crazy reason, she said yes! We were off on a journey and had no idea where it would take us. Together, we went to New York, North Carolina, New Mexico and California. Years and many dollars later, we became Somatic Experiencing Practitioners.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Suz became just as excited about this work as I was and decided to coordinate the first Chicago SE\u2122 training. I assisted for the first time at the Chicago training and continued my SE\u2122 training in this way.&nbsp; From there, the SE\u2122 trainings expanded to other parts of the Midwest. I assisted at the first Kansas City training and was then able to launch the very first SE\u2122 training in St. Louis after moving back to my hometown.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">That first St. Louis SE\u2122 training was in 2015. 10 years later, we have hundreds of multi-disciplinary professionals trained in SE\u2122 here in St. Louis. We have had 5 generations of students go through the St. Louis training and are starting our 6th generation in September. Many of the SE practitioners here in St. Louis volunteer to assist at the SE\u2122 trainings. They volunteer their time because they love and believe in this work and because our St. Louis SE\u2122 community is something very special. We are truly a family in every sense of the word.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Personally, learning SE\u2122 and being a part of the SE\u2122 community has changed my life. I experienced several life challenges while I was taking the SE training and believe that being in the training and getting my own SE\u2122 sessions played a fundamental role in why I have the life I have today. I have also had the privilege of meeting some of the most beautiful, loving and hilarious people that I have ever known. I\u2019m proud to call them my SE\u2122 family.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">I have a very different nervous system today than before I began the SE\u2122 training. My growing capacity for self-regulation allows me to be in relationship in a different way and to see my clients through the lens of compassion and resiliency. Today, I have a thriving SE\u2122 practice. Clients come to me for SE\u2122 work<\/span>,<span data-contrast=\"none\"> and I integrate it with other therapeutic models like EMDR and Internal Family Systems. I have witnessed clients heal at a level that I could have never imagined. I am so grateful that I made the decision, twelve years ago, to register for the SE\u2122 training. This work has truly changed my life.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">With Gratitude,<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-1 overflow-hidden @container\/thread\">\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Rebecca Ehrke<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Testimonial, 2025<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3800,"featured_media":987504127,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"two_page_speed":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[537],"tags":[],"formats":[],"class_list":["post-250125","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured-stories"],"acf":[],"dsm_author":{"name":"SEI Communications","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e8a65811269464525c652de6572498ab97a7dee8e8853fe9c27ecf887da5122d?s=96&d=mm&r=g","archive_link":"https:\/\/traumahealing.org\/author\/seicommunications\/","biodata":""},"dsm_categories":[{"term_name":"FEATURED STORIES","term_id":537,"term_link":"https:\/\/traumahealing.org\/category\/featured-stories\/"}],"dsm_attachment_categories":[],"dsm_featured_image":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/traumahealing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled-design-1-150x94.png","medium":"https:\/\/traumahealing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled-design-1-300x188.png","medium_large":"https:\/\/traumahealing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled-design-1-768x480.png","large":"https:\/\/traumahealing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled-design-1-1024x640.png","1536x1536":"https:\/\/traumahealing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled-design-1.png","2048x2048":"https:\/\/traumahealing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled-design-1.png","et-pb-post-main-image":"https:\/\/traumahealing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled-design-1-400x250.png","et-pb-post-main-image-fullwidth":"https:\/\/traumahealing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled-design-1.png","et-pb-portfolio-image":"https:\/\/traumahealing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled-design-1-400x284.png","et-pb-portfolio-module-image":"https:\/\/traumahealing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled-design-1-510x382.png","et-pb-portfolio-image-single":"https:\/\/traumahealing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled-design-1.png","et-pb-gallery-module-image-portrait":"https:\/\/traumahealing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled-design-1-400x516.png","et-pb-post-main-image-fullwidth-large":"https:\/\/traumahealing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled-design-1.png","et-pb-image--responsive--desktop":"https:\/\/traumahealing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled-design-1.png","et-pb-image--responsive--tablet":"https:\/\/traumahealing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled-design-1-980x613.png","et-pb-image--responsive--phone":"https:\/\/traumahealing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled-design-1-480x300.png","tenweb_optimizer_mobile":"https:\/\/traumahealing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled-design-1-600x375.png","tenweb_optimizer_tablet":"https:\/\/traumahealing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled-design-1-768x480.png","full":"https:\/\/traumahealing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled-design-1.png"},"dsm_comment_count":0,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>My Journey Into the World of Somatic Experiencing\u00ae!
