ÖZET
 Yaşanılan olumsuz hayat deneyimlerine yönelik verilen ve psikolojik bir tepki olan travma, eğer müdahale edilmez ise bireyin psikolojik iyilik hâlini, sosyal uyumunu ve günlük yaşantısını önemli ölçüde bozmaktadır. Bu nedenle, travmatik bir olaya maruz kalan bireylerin tedavisi büyük önem arz etmektedir. Travmaya yönelik çeşitli tedavi yöntemleri geliştirilmiştir. Bunlardan biri de Levine tarafından geliştirilen somatik deneyimleme yöntemidir. Levine'e göre bedenimiz, tüm duygu ve duyulardan gelen uyarımların taşıyıcısıdır. Travma yaşantıları taşıyıcı olan bedenimizin taşıyıcılık kapasitesini azaltmaktadır. Somatik deneyimleme yönteminde ana amaç, bedenin taşıyıcılık kapasitesini yeniden genişletmektir. Literatüre bakıldığında bu yöntem hakkında özellikle Türkçe literatürün yetersiz olduğu görülmektedir. Bu nedenle, bu çalışmada, bu ihtiyaca yanıt verilmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Psikolojik travma; psikiyatrik somatik tedaviler; psikoloji; post travmatik stres sendromu
ABSTRACT
 Trauma, which is a psychological response to negative life experiences, damages the individual's psychological well-being, social adaptation and daily life if not intervened in. For this reason, the treatment of the individuals who exposed to a traumatic life experience have great importance. Several treatment approaches for trauma have been developed. One of them is the somatic experiencing method developed by Levine. According to Levine, our body is the carrier of all the impulses arising from emotions and senses. Trauma experiences reduce the carrying capacity of our body. The main purpose of the somatic experiencing method is to re-expand the carrying capacity of the body. When we look at the literature, it is seen that Turkish literature is inadequate about this method. For this reason, this article aims to answer this need.
