Vision and mission

The Society of Somatic Experiencing Slovenia (hereinafter SES) is a non-profit professional organization that works in the field of awareness and information about trauma and the promotion of professional work with the consequences of trauma. Under its umbrella, it brings together various psychotherapists and other experts who work with people in various work environments and who have completed a three-year training in the Somatic Experiencing method (hereafter SE) or are still in the process of training.

​

Mission of SES
​

Raising awareness and educating the professional and lay public about the nature of trauma, its prevention, its consequences, and ways of dealing with trauma in a professional and personal environment.

Support, promotion, association of SE experts and promotion of their professional growth.

 

Vision of SES
​

Our vision is to spread expert knowledge about trauma in the field of education, healthcare, social care, justice and other industries where work with people is at the fore, and among people who want to use this knowledge in their personal lives.

The goal we are working towards is a trauma-informed professional public who, with the acquired knowledge, offers better support and treatment of people, and a lay public who has the tools to deal with their own trauma or the trauma of loved ones.

Because we are aware that trauma begets trauma and that it is transmitted from generation to generation, we want to spread the idea that each of us can take a small step or a few steps to heal ourselves and thereby also to the treatment of the community

The final goal we want is a Slovenian space that is informed about trauma, that understands, respects and supports people in the public and private sphere.
