Training Description
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) is a body-oriented talk therapy that blends cognitive and emotional approaches, verbal dialogue, and physical interventions to directly address the implicit memories and neurobiological effects of trauma. By using bodily experience as a primary entry point in trauma therapy, rather than the events of the “story,” we attend to how the body is processing information and its interface with emotions and cognitive meaning making.
Level 1 trauma training presents simple, body-oriented interventions for tracking, naming, and safely exploring trauma-related, somatic activation, creating new competencies and restoring a somatic sense of self.
Students will learn effective and accessible interventions for identifying and working with limiting somatic patterns, disturbed cognitive and emotional processing, and the fragmented sense of self experienced by so many traumatized individuals.
By the end of the training, students will be able to apply basic SP techniques with clients who are distressed or traumatized and adapt SP skills for more complex clinical situations.
Level 1: SP for the Treatment of Trauma is offered in 4 formats to support learning and accessibility. All formats offer a minimum of 39 Continuing Education (CE) and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credits and deliver the same content, learning materials, and interactive lessons.
