The Efficacy of Somatic Experiencing in Treating PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression
Introduction
Many studies have been conducted on the treatment of the “posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD),” anxiety, and depression. When treating PTSD, anxiety, and depression, no therapy has been shown to be beneficial for everyone. This is true despite developing several effective approaches (Cohen et al., 2000; Cusack et al., 2016). In addition to cognitive-behavioral treatment methods like prolonged exposure, also cognitive processing therapy, brief eclectic psychotherapy, and movement of eye desensitisation as well as reprocessing, a number of other treatment methods have been proposed but have not yet been studied extensively (Foa et al., 2010).
There are many potential interventions for the treatment of PSTD, anxiety, and depression, including the "bottom-up" method of Somatic Experiencing® (SE; Levine, 1997) and other approaches. Posttraumatic and chronic stress disorder symptoms are the primary targets for this therapy. It is a body-centered approach to treatment that the focuses on the “psychophysiological effects” of the trauma. Resilience in SE is based on a psychobiological concept that has been generalised (Levine, 1997). The psychobiology of stress, as well as resilience, are at the heart of SE, which is both a theoretical framework and a therapeutic strategy. Resilience is defined in the SE theory as the capacity to recover from adversity (Winblad, Changaris, and Stein, 2018). Several parts of trauma theory, resilience theory, and emotion control are all included in the SE model (Briggs, Hayes, and Changaris, 2018). SE has challenged traditional psychological theories of affect regulation in three important ways: the psychobiological model of resilience, the dual model of affect regulation that includes both cognitive regulation as well as implicit affect regulation, and the “integrative approach” that includes tools to psychological treatment as well as physiological aspects of the autonomic dysregulation. SE is based on these three radical departures from
