Somato-emotional release (SER) is a therapeutic procedure that uses the concepts of cranioSacral therapy to free the body and mind of the discomforting side effects of trauma. Many times, the emotional symptoms that we experience during trauma remain unresolved and the body is unable to heal. In order for these remaining symptoms of trauma to heal permanently, a mind-body connection has to be made.
As the therapist releases the energy from the physical problem so then will the emotional energy be released and possibly experienced by the client. This allows the body to begin the healing process and fully recover from the traumatic experience.
