This blog will chronicle the sessions of “Julie” as she
participates in Somatic Experiencing® therapy, hereafter referred to as SE.
The aim of these posts is to give the readers a first-hand account of the
therapy in order to fulfill the requirements for the English 305W Final Project
and complement the Final Research Paper. A brief clinical background on “Julie”
is that she suffers from mild depression and hasn’t seen any long term benefits
from traditional therapeutic modalities. She is looking to increase her resilience
to the stressors of life and decided to give SE a try to discover the innate
resources within. “Julie” is a fictitious character and any names as well as
the details of events have been changed to maintain anonymity and protect
privacy. Enjoy!
