ThatOneGirlStitch Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I was hoping that someone might have knowledge or experience in this. Can Somatic Experiencing therapy help with withdrawal depression or nero-emotions? I was told by my talk therapist that since I'm not finding talk therapy helpful (I find it rather traumatizing to have to talk about my WD symptoms and her strategies aren't helping with WD symptoms or nero-emotions) that I should try Somatic Experiencing therapy, since it has to do with the nervous system. Can it really be helpful for withdrawal symptoms or am I risking retraumatizing or making myself sad again?
