Let’s have a clear understanding of what this site – se-reflections.com – has to offer and what it doesn’t try to offer.
If we’re on the same page, both you and I will have the best user experience.
New Visitors: Thanks for taking the time to review this page – it is kept intentionally simple and direct so we’re clear together!
Are you a Somatic Experiencing® student or practitioner?
This site is designed to share thoughts and reflections on what I personally do and do not do as a psycho-biologically based somatic educator specializing in SE®.
It is targeted specifically for SE students, practitioners and associated helping care professionals so they can take these ideas and make their own work better than ever (and better than mine).
If that’s you, you’re in the right place.
If this is not you, you’ll probably find other public projects by Twig on liberationispossible.org more helpful as the specific nature of this project will not translate well to the general public.
How you can participate
- Share this site with your friend’s and colleagues.
- Submit a question, thought or criticism for review.
- Hire me for a consultation, session or presentation.
- Inform me of a needed correction or reconsideration.
- Send me a word of encouragement or other thought.
- Create something beautiful and tell me about it. Then I can shout “That’s SO COOL!”

Me – Anthony Twig Wheeler – an SE practitioner and consultant who’s grokked this stuff with considerable effort and passion.
I can help you “grok” it too. That’s the point of this website, to join in the effort to have more of us get it.
Not without consideration. Please don’t assume you can agree with me on 100% of what I offer here. That can’t and shouldn’t be done, please don’t try. Give me a chance and see if I make sense to you.
80% of the material on this site is completely free of charge and licensed through a Creative Commons license and Fair Use to encourage an intellectually vibrant SE community.

You sure can, and you’re encouraged to do so.
There’s a list above with some ideas and I’m open to another creative idea if you’ve got one.
You can always send encouragement too.
Yes and no. You can certainly send me questions or commentary and I really hope you will. Those often turn into material on this site.
If you’re on Facebook and Twitter you can comment there as well.
I don’t maintain open comments on this site – it’s simply too much work to watch after those.
After the Podcast reaches 100 episodes the site will be archived for time to come and future additions will be made as opportunity allows.
Development and refinements of related online courses will continue as long as I have anything productive left to share and resources with which to share them.
This blog project is NOT a reflection of the SE training or curriculum, though at times it will share certain logic. These reflections are meant to be be adjunctive to the training and the experience of practicing SE, much like reading a book by Dr. Robert Scaer or listening to a lecture by Stephen Porges PhD. If you are currently in the training, please be respectful of your faculty and classmates by not bringing material into your class from this blog that is clearly beyond the scope of your current training or colleagues.

Please do not try to capitalize (make money) from my efforts and do provide links back to this blog. I’m highly attentive to not exploiting other people’s material on this blog and I anticipate that you’ll do the same.

Nope. If you want to do that visit the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute’s website.
Twig’s SE Refections project is not a replacement for official training in Somatic Experiencing® by the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute.
Please don’t pretend like it is – it is not. Agreed?
