*Please note there is an error in the video regarding The Autonomic Nervous System illustration. The new diagram reflecting these changes can now be found at thesomaticpt.com/what-is-somatic-experiencing and in this new video:

Imagine a horizontal line immediately underneath the dorsal vagal freeze line. Everything below this line to the baseline includes sympathetic activation (includes the purple line, blue line and the green line above baseline). Everything above the imagined line now becomes a higher level of parasympathetic. The new diagram reflecting these changes can now be found at thesomaticpt.com/what-is-somatic-experiencing. The explanation in this video, however, does not affect the reasoning or explanations behind how these are released.
Somatic Experiencing is a natural body-based counseling technique for releasing stored and trapped emotions in our bodies. This work is based off the fight or flight aspect of our autonomic nervous system. By learning how to locate and identify our emotions in the body, rather than holding them conceptually in our mind, we are then able to release them.
