Dea Parsanishi is Faculty of Somatic Experiencing® International, based in Port Alberni, BC, Canada. SE is a body-oriented approach to trauma resolution developed by Peter Levine, working with autonomic nervous-system regulation, sensation, and the somatic completion of thwarted survival responses. As a body psychotherapist who has worked with traumatized humans for 30 years and as a human impacted by trauma, I am passionate about teaching and learning how humans heal from trauma. I live on the west coast of Vancouver Island where I work as a trauma therapist.
