Somatic Experiencing is a psychobiological method of addressing clients’ physical and emotional trauma conditions, and helps to give voice to their experiences without a need for them to retell the story. SE was founded by Dr. Peter Levine, author of the bestseller Waking the Tiger, who developed Somatic Experiencing based on explorations of how animals deal with threat, nervous system overwhelm, and traumatic experiences on a daily basis. SE focuses on regulation of the nervous system and offers the opportunity to engage, complete, and resolve the body’s instinctual responses to traumatic experiences.  For more information regarding Somatic Experiencing and the SE professional training program, please visit: traumahealing.org/TTP ( http://traumahealing.org/TTP ) ---- As the director and founder of The Immigration Evaluation Training Center ( https://www.therapistimmigrationtraining.com/ ) , she is committed to helping therapists develop the skills and confidence they need to provide exceptional immigration evaluations. Georgia has trained extensively with the advocacy group, Physicians for Human Rights, and she regularly appears in court as an expert witness for asylum cases. She has also been a guest speaker at the Georgetown Law School, teaching law students about the impact of trauma on asylum seekers.    * In This Episode* * Georgia's Website ( https://www.georgiakingtherapy.com/ ) * Contact Georgia ( https://www.georgiakingtherapy.com/contact ) * Georgia King on Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/pg/georgiakingtherapy/posts/?ref=page_internal ) * The Immigration Evaluation Training Center ( https://www.therapistimmigrationtraining.com/ ) * The Immigration Evaluation Center Workshops ( https://www.therapistimmigrationtraining.com/workshops ) * Physicians For Human Rights ( https://phr.org/ ) Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-trauma-therapist-podcast-with-guy-macpherson-phd-inspiring-interviews-with-thought-leaders-in-the-field-of-trauma/donations
