Somerville Johnston is a licensed somatic experiencing practitioner and founder of Aspen Roots Collective out of Asheville, North Carolina.
Somatic experiencing is a modality that works with the autonomic nervous system to complete trauma responses. It focuses on changing the brain from the bottom up by tuning into the body and the animal aspect of our mind. Practicing orienting to safety can slowly change the wiring of our brain and lead to calmer and more focused thoughts. In the developed world, we often treat everyday stressors as threats, leading to chronic activation and difficulty in orienting to safety. It is important to practice feeling into the body and noticing the transition from an active state to a settled state.
