The Somatic Experiencing® Research Coalition is an international group of volunteers providing research and publishing support on Somatic Experiencing®. It is dedicated to increasing awareness and understanding of Somatic Experiencing® and grounding that understanding in both phenomenological inquiry and evidence based research.
SERC was established in response to community needs for a place to share tools, insights and collaborate on research projects. It was first established in 2012 to meet the needs of our community. It has grown over the last several years and now includes members from multiple disciplines, countries around the world to support the development of high quality research projects that reduce the burden of trauma on individuals and communities around the world.

ABOUT SOMATIC EXPERIENCING
SOMATIC EXPERIENCING® (SE) is a potent psychobiological method for resolving trauma symptoms and relieving chronic stress. It is the life's work of Dr. Peter A. Levine, resulting from his multidisciplinary study of stress physiology, psychology, ethology, biology, neuroscience, indigenous healing practices, and medical biophysics, together with over 45 years of successful clinical application. The SE® approach releases traumatic shock, which is key to transforming PTSD and the wounds of emotional and early developmental attachment trauma.
SE® offers a framework to assess where a person is "stuck" in the fight, flight, freeze, or collapse responses and provides clinical tools to resolve these fixated physiological states. It provides effective skills appropriate to a variety of healing professions including, mental health, medicine, physical and occupational therapies, bodywork, addiction treatment, first response, education, and others.
