Anyone try somatic experiencing?

I just booked my first appt which will be in a month (earliest available). I’ve wanted to try it for a very long time and they are now offering it at a place that does TRE as well so I can ask about that, although that intimidated me a bit. How many sessions does it usually take of SE? It’s pricey so not something I can afford regularly unless I quit therapy. Has it helped any of you and with what specifically has it helped with?

You are a brave soul!!! I cannot imagine going through therapy such as somatic experiencing. As you get into it, maybe you will give us an update as to how you do with it and how it is guided. I am curious to know more about it but, at this point, think that I would be chicken to do it. But, what do I know? Maybe it would be a productive way to allow the mind to 'feel' again, in a healthy manner.

It helped me realize how my body feels before I disassociate. I was no where near being able to do TRE. I went for nine or ten sessions until the therapist said something very inappropriate. I wish I could of continued with her but she was trying to get me to attach in an unhealthy way. Which surprised me because she is a certified SEP. Good luck.
