I started working with Brian in the Somatic Experiencing work because I had been dealing with a lot of anger and rage whose source was unknown to me. I knew that traditional therapy can take years (and a LOT of money) to uncover certain repressed memories and traumas and that it can often re-traumatize you to talk about these experiences. I was totally skeptical the first time I met with Brian because he doesn't put his hands on you much or use any physical tools, he just begins to talk you into this place- a place I had never been- that helps your body access the places where you are harboring your trauma. HOLY COW! It was amazing!! Not only do you go into the most incredible meditation but your body literally twitches and shudders out the trauma! And at the end of each session I would have the most wonderful body sensations. I have never felt anything so good. It's like space has been created in places all over your and you are floating off the table. I swear in all my 34 years I have never been open enough, due to my trauma, to love fully and be loved. This year, only a few months after my 5th session I think it was, I experienced the most riveting and inspiring and heart opening love of my life.

Thank you once again for a truly amazing experience! To think that when we first met, I didn't know what 'blissed out' meant, and now I experience (and am continuing to experience) that state of existence that you call 'blissed out!' I also want to thank you for teaching me what it means to be centered and to be fully present. more...

Brian's presence immediately sets me at ease. In our SE sessions, he provides a safe space for me to explore my bodily tensions and boundaries, to sit with and observe what I feel. more...

The SE work that Brian does is phenomenal! Until I had this experience, I never actually experienced such a close tie between how we think and how our body feels. more...

Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome is what I was diagnosed with 25 years ago. Brian Mahan through Somatic Experience taught me to build a tool box. My tool box now consists of many helpful tools that have enabled me to feel safe and at peace again. more...

Brian and the SE method have transformed my life. I've gone from being house bound and suffering from Fibromyalgia to a productive and happy person. I highly recommend Brian. He will help you and take you light years beyond normal psychotherapy ever could.

 

Working with Brian changed my life; he is a truly gifted practitioner. more...
