SomatoEmotional Release (SER)
What is SomatoEmotional Release (SER)?
SomatoEmotional Release is an advanced level of CranioSacral Therapy that works to release stored emotion from the various tissues of the body. The term 'tissue' can refer to muscles, bones, connective tissue, the nervous system, organs and skin; essentially any part or area of the body. Many times the storage of stress, tension, trauma or any other negative experience can be referred to as an 'energy cyst' within the tissues. When these energy cysts are released through an SER treatment, a person can experience profound healing on a somato-emotional level. This experience is unique to SER.
Most modalities separate body and mind, offering either physical therapy or psychotherapy. It is known, however, that a radical change in physical health, for the better or worse, is always accompanied by mental change. It is also known from studies of behavior that the reverse is equally true--a significant change in mental or emotional perspective is always accompanied by a change in body activity, posture and movement. Body and mind are inseparable and actually just different facets of a single, unified being. SER provides a gentle and creative framework for working with the tissues of the body and the emotions simultaneously, allowing a release of adverse energy or memory of retained traumas. SomatoEmotional Release facilitates personal growth, and supports us in moving from illness and unresolved issues towards greater health, wellbeing and fullfillment.
Our Bodies Hold the Memory of Our Experiences
Our bodies have an incredible ability to store and hold onto experiences, memories, and emotions. Sometimes, due to trauma or ongoing stress, these experiences get trapped in our muscles and tissues. Somatic release aims to bring these trapped experiences to the surface and allow the body to release them, promoting healing and a sense of liberation.
Return to the Real You
SER can bring about a surge of emotional release. Tears may flow, and a deep sense of emotional unburdening and cleansing can occur. Individuals often describe feeling lighter, as if a heavy weight has been lifted from their shoulders. Emotions that were once suppressed or held in the body can find an outlet, allowing for a cathartic release and a newfound emotional equilibrium.
