Gwynne Gilson, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist - Dublin, CA
I am Gwynne Gilson, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I can help:
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist located in Dublin, California. I work with children, adults, families and couples. My approach to healing integrates Somatic Experiencing® techniques with traditional psychotherapy for an outcome that is more effective than talk therapy alone. In addition to addressing trauma, these techniques can also help to relieve common symptoms of stress, depression, irritability, and trauma. These symptoms may be affecting your relationships with family, friends, fellow professionals, or intimate partners. Unresolved issues of grief and loss may continue to distract you from the present moment. A single event, or many throughout your life, could be contributing to lasting symptoms of trauma. You may simply desire more out of your life. It can be difficult and scary to reach out for help without fear of being judged. You are not alone. Help is available. I focus on providing a welcoming environment so that within the safety of our relationship, you may begin to heal.
Scientific research continues to provide evidence of the importance of relationships to our health and well-being. We also understand better than ever that our minds and our bodies, rather than being casual acquaintances, are essential partners. Symptoms are messages from our bodies, asking us to pay attention.
The path to self-understanding and healing is the most important journey a human being can take. Together we will identify the strengths you already possess, which will help guide you toward rediscovering your innate capacity for growth and greater ease in living.

More information about trauma and Somatic Experiencing®
Somatic Experiencing®, or SE, was developed by the pioneering researcher and practitioner of trauma healing, Dr. Peter A. Levine. According to Dr. Levine, "Trauma is about loss of connection—to ourselves, to our bodies, to our families, to others, and to the world around us." An event that leads to symptoms of trauma can be as seemingly trivial as a minor traffic accident, or as clearly life-altering as experiencing a catastrophic natural disaster. Trauma resides in our nervous system and must be addressed at that level in order to renegotiated. Trauma is an everyday fact of life and yet provides an amazing opportunity for transformation.
Dr. Levine observed that wild animals, although routinely threatened, are rarely traumatized. Through his studies, Dr. Levine found that human beings possess the same innate capacity to heal as do animals. In our natural, untraumatized state, our nervous systems flow through rhythmic cycles of expansion and contraction. Somatic Experiencing® can help restore these natural, healthful patterns, which can become disrupted through incomplete processing of traumatic activation. The successful reintegration of traumatic experiences allows us to function at an even higher level of awareness and engagement with the world and people around us.
