Gain practical, body-based SP techniques to empower autistic clients, enhance self-awareness, and unlock new therapeutic insights!

Proposing ways to tap into the wisdom of the body through the application of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy in order to understand and assist clients diagnosed on the autistic spectrum, Dr. Goldstein will present practical insights for mental health professionals and educators.

Introducing body-based tools which propel the session beyond the verbal story in ways that words cannot, this three-hour workshop explores physical actions and body sensations to encourage self-awareness, and resolution of trauma.

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy prizes working with the non-verbal narrative, in collaboration with our clients in order to foster mind-body awareness, propel new insights, and help clients feel empowered.

Videoed excerpts of therapy sessions will be presented in order to highlight specific Sensorimotor Psychotherapy interventions such as contacting and framing experience, tracking dysregulation, identifying and embodying somatic resources and co-developing experiments to identify somatic signals, physical actions, body sensations, etc.

For our younger clients diagnosed with autism, sensory-processing-informed treatment focuses on minimizing potential stressors and fostering self-regulatory skills over time in order to enhance wellbeing.

What is Sensorimotor Psychotherapy?
Trauma first and foremost leaves its imprint on the body, yet for many reasons, the body has historically been omitted from therapeutic inquiry. SP can help clients learn to draw upon the wisdom of the body to release the debilitation effects of trauma and develop somatic resources that help them engage more fully in their lives and relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why haven’t I heard about Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) training before?

SP creator, Dr. Pat Ogden, established Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute (SPI) in 1981. Until 2019, SPI almost exclusively relied on word of mouth to spread awareness of training in SP. With growing demand for effective trauma therapy, we realized the principles and methods of SP needed to reach further. We began offering a variety of programs online, so more people than ever before can affordably and conveniently begin learning SP.

Will completing this course certify me in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy?
This course is intended to be an introduction to SP. Only licensed mental health practitioners who complete all three levels of SP Training through SPI are eligible for certification in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. See sensorimotor.org for details.
I've tried working with the body before, but it didn't work... How is this any different?
SP uniquely includes the body in therapy as both a source of information and target for intervention. By addressing the physical as well as the psychological, SP can support a deep, effective and unified approach to healing. The immediately-useful knowledge you will gain in this course comes from Dr. Ogden’s years of study and clinical experience--she developed SP based on what works.
Are Continuing Education credits offered?
