Trauma-Informed Somatic Experiencing That Helps You Feel Safe in Your Body Again

At Sacred Shift, we offer trauma-informed Somatic Experiencing sessions that support nervous system regulation, emotional release, and gentle reconnection with your body’s wisdom. This work is grounded in Somatic Experiencing, the trauma healing approach developed by Dr. Peter Levine, and is designed to help you move through stress and overwhelm with steadiness and care—whether you visit us in Sugar House, Salt Lake City, or join virtually from anywhere in Utah.

Why Book Somatic Experiencing at Sacred Shift?
Somatic Experiencing is not about reliving the past or forcing big emotions. It’s a body-based, trauma-informed approach that helps your nervous system complete what it couldn’t finish during overwhelming experiences. At Sacred Shift, we work slowly, respectfully, and collaboratively—tracking sensations, breath, and subtle cues to build capacity, restore safety, and support lasting change.

Clients often seek Somatic Experiencing for:

• Anxiety, stress, and chronic overwhelm

• Trauma recovery and emotional regulation

• Nervous system dysregulation and shutdown

• Panic, hypervigilance, or feeling “on edge”

• Grief, transitions, and burnout recovery

• Each session invites you to slow down, listen inward, and learn what your body has been communicating all along.

What to Expect During Your Somatic Experiencing Session
During your Somatic Experiencing session, we’ll begin by creating safety and clarity around what you’re experiencing right now. Sessions focus on present-moment awareness and gentle nervous system support, not on pushing through. We may explore grounding, titration (small, manageable steps), and resourcing—tools that help your system build stability while you process at a pace that feels safe.

Not sure what to talk about? Many clients arrive with a general sense of stress, numbness, or feeling stuck. You don’t need a perfect story or specific trauma label to benefit from this work.

Common themes include:

• Why do I feel anxious even when things are “fine”?

• How can I come down from fight-or-flight?

• Why do I shut down, freeze, or feel numb?

• How do I release tension I’m holding in my body?

• What helps me feel grounded, safe, and present?

Every Somatic Experiencing session is tailored to your unique nervous system and your current capacity.

What Makes Sacred Shift’s Somatic Experiencing Different?
This is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Sacred Shift offers a heart-centered, trauma-informed space where you are never rushed, judged, or pressured to share more than you want to. Our work is guided by compassionate presence, nervous system education, and the foundational principles of Somatic Experiencing created by Dr. Peter Levine.

We meet you exactly where you are—with steadiness, respect, and deep listening.

And something special: Each client leaves with a simple, personalized grounding practice to support integration between sessions. This may include a resourcing cue, a regulation tool, or a body-based ritual that helps you return to safety and self-trust in everyday life.
