As an SE practitioner my job is to create a safe container and hold space for your process as you discharge residual trauma-bound energy stuck in your body, thereby increasing your capacity for the ups and downs of life. Once resiliency is restored in your system, many of the missing pieces will fall into place and many of your questions answered - organically.
Example: If you can't sleep at night, waking up every night at two in the morning ... you might know it has something to do with your past, but you are not quite sure what. Let's say you decide to go for a traditional therapeutic approach, such as psychotherapy; after a few months (or years), you might finally realize WHY you can't sleep at night and always wake up at the same time, however, though you now understand the WHY, you still can't sleep! WHY? Because nothing has been resolved in your body! Psychotherapy and other story-based therapies can be really helpful in conjunction with SE, but they are not enough on their own for that very reason: they focus on the story and the overwhelming emotions but too often - sadly - bypass the body and its impulses for resolution. Resolution needs to take place in the body (as well as the mind) - and that is why it is important to work with a body-mind approach to healing!!!
SE works with the nervous system, so by bypassing the story (the mind/ego) and listening to the body; 'experiencing' the language of the body (somatic/sensations); we are able to restore its functions therefore helping you regain harmony in your body-mind-spirit.
NO you have not been experiencing "abnormal symptoms": your symptoms are trying to convey a message about an "abnormal" experience which you've lived through, survived, yet seem to be trapped in - as if stuck in that traumatic moment of overwhelm like an endless loop ...
YES, I am repeating myself from the previous entries, or rather, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of the fact that healing needs to happen in the body as well as the mind! Healing can only happen in the present - so it is by tracking your body, in the now, as you recall a past event, that you will find resolution.
