StrongView Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Has anyone heard of anyone doing Somatic Experiencing in Thailand? My wife was in a major car accident 10 years ago in the US and sustained a traumatic internal brain injury. She has (since then) not been able to get to REM sleep, and almost not even sleep at all without the aid of drugs. About 8 months ago, she went to the US to try a therapy called "Somatic Experiencing" (I can't go into the details of the treatment, because I don't fully understand the methods, but you can get details searching the web for "somatic experiencing Peter Levene") for about 3 months and it helped tremendously. Because of quickly reduced funds, my wife needed to return to Thailand. It would be incredibly perfect if anyoen practices this treatment in Thailand so my wife could continue, because her sleeplessness has returned. Does anyone know about anybody practicing this here?

Sheryl Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 While this exact technique isn't available nearby, there are for sure 2 psychologists certified in a related technique called EMDR in Phnom Penh. EMDR uses uses rapid eye movements & other body/mind linkages to help process trauma...especially helpful for post-traumatic stress disorder and things like that. I can vouch for them based on my own experience & that of close friends. There might also be people trained in this in Thailand but I don't know, suggest you email the ones in Phnom Penh and ask them as they would know of anyone certified in Thailand. The 2 in Phnom Penh are: Jane Lopacka email [email protected] June Cunningham email [email protected] If it turns out there's no one in Thailand your wife might consider traveling periodically to Phnom Penh, it's not that expensive and both of these therapists are flexible about scheduling for people who are in & out of the country.
