Layers of Trauma: A Recorded Session Analysis | On-Demand

Format: On-Demand, Self-Paced
Access: Immediate 90-Day Access
Presenters: Pat Ogden, PhD, Founder of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy™ & Ava Rose, LCSW

Trauma may belong to the past, but patterns of response can continue to shape how the body organizes experience in the present.

Layers of Trauma: A Recorded Session Analysis offers clinicians a rare opportunity to observe an entire, unedited therapy session and explore the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy™ interventions and clinical considerations that unfold throughout the work.

In the recorded session, Dr. Pat Ogden serves as therapist while Ava Rose, LCSW, certified in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy™, portrays “Ellen,” a client presenting with layers of recent, past, and intergenerational trauma.

Throughout this on-demand learning experience, clinicians will explore:

  • How patterns of traumatic response can persist in present-moment bodily experience
  • The use of sensorimotor sequencing to work with traumatic arousal
  • Body-oriented interventions that support access to active defensive responses
  • How freeze responses may be reflected through posture, movement, sensation, and action
  • How recent, past, and intergenerational trauma may emerge within a session
  • The use of mindfulness and present-moment awareness to work with habitual patterns of response

The presenters pause throughout the recording to examine key moments, interventions, and clinical considerations, offering an opportunity to explore not only what interventions are used, but when, why, and how they are introduced within the therapeutic process.

Designed for trauma therapists, mental health clinicians, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy™ students and alumni, and clinicians interested in integrating the body more fully into trauma treatment.
