SomatoEmotional® Release (SER)
SomatoEmotional Release (SER) is an extension of Craniosacral Therapy that focuses on releasing emotional energy stored within the body’s tissues due to stress or trauma. This process supports the integration of emotions and physical healing, promoting lasting change and well-being.
What is SomatoEmotional Release®?
SomatoEmotional Release (SER), developed by Dr. John Upledger, is an advanced form of craniosacral therapy. It’s based on the understanding that unresolved emotional trauma and stress can become “stored” within the body’s tissues, leading to various physical and emotional imbalances.
SER provides a gentle yet profound approach to address these retained emotions. By working with both the body’s tissues (“soma”) and the emotional patterns held within them, SER facilitates the release and integration of past trauma. This interconnected approach recognizes that the mind and body are deeply linked, and that physical symptoms like chronic illness, reduced immunity, lack of energy, or anxiety can often stem from unaddressed emotional burdens.
Ultimately, SER aims to promote lasting change and well-being. It’s a creative and transformative process that supports personal growth, helping individuals move towards wellness, peace, and fulfillment by integrating emotions and fostering physical healing.
A Mind-Body Approach
Historically, healthcare has treated the mind and body separately. SER bridges this gap by addressing both simultaneously, facilitating the release or integration of retained trauma in a gentle, creative manner. This approach supports personal growth, enhances well-being, and encourages a thriving life.
How does SomatoEmotional Release work?
SomatoEmotional Release recognises that emotional experiences can become “trapped” in the body’s tissues, affecting physical health. By addressing these emotional imprints, SER facilitates the body’s natural healing processes, bridging the connection between physical and emotional well-being.
What can I expect during a SomatoEmotional Release session?
During an SER session, your therapist may ask you about your sensations, emotions, or memories. This exploration helps uncover and release retained emotional tension. The process is guided, gentle, and designed to encourage both physical and emotional healing.
“I can’t recommend Jo highly enough. Book in for a session with her and your body will thank you. Even my 25 year old son, not normally given to hyperbole, said the results of Jo’s therapy were “magical”.
There is in fact sound science behind what she does. Jo senses your cranial rhythm, tuning in to the fundamental flow with light touches on various parts of your body.
The therapy is subtle but the results are profound. A treatment with Jo can be life-changing (quite literally) but at the very least you’ll leave her rooms feeling more relaxed and aligned than you have in years.”
