SE® online Introductory
with Mariëlle Maaswinkel
November 29-30, 2025
online
We recommend this weekend workshop to people from different fields. Over the course of two days, we offer skills and tools that participants can immediately apply in both their personal and professional lives to support self-regulation and alleviate symptoms of a “deregulated” nervous system.
We build these skills through experiential exercises, demonstrations, and theory to provide a safe toolbox for developing self-regulation.
For whom is the workshop recommended?
Somatic Experiencing® offers a new and hopeful perspective on trauma. It views humans as exceptional beings with an innate capacity for healing, and as intellectual beings capable of harnessing and utilizing this capacity. It asks and answers the perplexing question of how it is possible that wild animals, despite often facing life-threatening situations, rarely become traumatized. The mystery of human trauma can be revealed by understanding the inner workings of wild animals, which make them virtually immune to traumatic symptoms.
Somatic Experiencing® is a natural approach to processing post-traumatic stress. It is based on the observation that wild animals are able to regulate and neutralize the high levels of stress they often experience without suffering long-term debilitating effects – effects that humans experience in similar threatening situations.
The workshop will be led by Mariëlle Maaswinkel, SEP, NARM (Neuro-Affective Relational Model) and IFS (Internal Family Systems Therapy) practitioner.
The workshop is a combination of theory, lectures and experiential exercises covering the following topics:
-
The definition of trauma from the SE® perspective
-
What is SE® and how does it differ from other methods?
-
Basic concepts and principles of SE®
-
Psychological aspects of the functioning of the autonomic nervous system and body physiology
-
Resilience and self-regulation
-
Key skills and group practice
-
Demonstrations and videos
-
Experiential exercises
We will leave plenty of time for questions :)
The program will run from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on both days, and the training will be conducted in English with Hungarian simultaneous interpretation using Zoom's interpretation channel. The trainer and participants will be supported by a team of well-prepared assistants.
After the workshop, we will send all participants a PDF outline of Mariëlle's presentation so that you can focus on what was said during the weekend.
