“A game-changer for my clients and my clinic” M. Roth, Psychologist
A New Paradigm in Trauma Healing
Developed by Dr. Peter Levine, Somatic Experiencing® (SE) offers a groundbreaking, body-based approach to trauma therapy by addressing its effects on the nervous system. Unlike traditional talk therapy, which often focuses on cognitive processing, SE recognizes that trauma is stored in the body and works to restore balance through body awareness and gentle movement. By helping individuals release stored survival energy and regulate their nervous system, SE empowers lasting healing without retraumatization.
At ITI, the official provider of SE training in Israel, we equip therapists with the knowledge, hands-on techniques, and practical skills to integrate this body-first approach into their practice. SE is transforming the field of trauma therapy, providing a safe, effective, and empowering path to resilience and recovery.

Customer Testimonials
Somatic Experiencing changed my practice forever.
It gives me a feeling of integration – of surrendering. Of allowing to unfold. There is no right or wrong way. Just let the exploration unfold. It is intensive and powerful. I learned that less is more. This is the important part of SE. I feel more stable, more regulated.
