Discover how Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) can help resolve the lingering impact of shock trauma on the nervous system. This SP session explores how unresolved subcortical orienting and defensive responses, those instinctive survival strategies triggered in the face of threat, can be completed through SP’s intervention of sensorimotor sequencing.
When trauma is not processed to resolution, the body’s initial shock response can reverberate through brain and body, leading to involuntary sensations, defensive impulses, negative core beliefs, and overwhelming affect.
Sensorimotor sequencing provides a pathway to complete these unfinished responses at the level of the nervous system - allowing clients with PTSD and C-PTSD to discharge hyperarousal, restore regulation, and reconnect with an embodied sense of self.
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Differentiate orienting and instinctive defenses.
- Apply SP bottom up techniques in your clinical practice.
- Assess Sensorimotor Sequencing intervention for Hyperarousal, Orienting and Defensive Responses.
- Identify the brain structure mostly involved in overt and covert orienting.
- Name the brain structure involved in affective and defensive responses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Sensorimotor Psychotherapy?
Why Sensorimotor Psychotherapy?
Trauma leaves its mark on the body. Yet, for many reasons, therapy has often ignored the body. SP can help clients use their own body’s wisdom. This can release trauma’s debilitating effects and develop somatic resources that help them engage more fully in their lives and relationships.
Why haven’t I heard about Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) training before?
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 a rising demand for trauma therapy, we knew SP’s methods must reach further. We started offering various programs online. Now, more people than ever before can affordably and conveniently learn SP.

Will completing this course certify me in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy?
This course is 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 incorporates the body in therapy, using it as both a source of information and a target for intervention. By addressing both the physical and the psychological, SP can support a deep and effective approach to healing. This training will give you knowledge that comes from Dr. Ogden’s years of study and clinical experience. She developed SP based on what works.
Can I get a refund if I need to cancel my webinar or seminar registration?
Yes. If you cancel 14 or more days before the scheduled webinar or seminar date and submit official notice to Student Services, you’re eligible for a refund of the tuition paid.
