developer of Somatic Experiencing®

Dr. Peter A. Levine

Peter A Levine, Ph.D., is the developer of Somatic Experiencing®, a naturalistic and neurobiological approach to healing trauma, which he has developed over the past 50 years.

Somatic therapy explores how the body expresses deeply painful experiences, applying mind-body healing to aid with trauma recovery.

“Trauma therapy for the future can be more important than trauma therapy for the past.”— Dr. Levine

Autonomic Nervous System and Trauma Recovery

smovey® Vibroswing for Somatic Therapy

smovey® Vibroswing can support trauma recovery when integrated into Somatic Experiencing Therapy (SET), a body-focused approach designed to release stored tension from trauma. This therapy helps regulate the nervous system, restoring a sense of safety and control in the body. smovey® complements this process by regulating the nervous system, encouraging body awareness, easing physical tension, promoting safe movement & enhancing emotional regulation.

By integrating smovey® with Somatic Experiencing, trauma patients benefit from a holistic tool that addresses both the physical and emotional effects of their experiences.
