Access & Read - Part 2: Clinical Applications of Grounding in SP
written by Pat Ogden, PhD & Janina Fisher, PhD

Grounding, Part 2, written for both therapists and clients, expands upon the conceptual and experiential understanding of grounding, explores case examples, and the somatic and psychological distinctions between ungrounded and overgrounded states.

Discover how grounding interventions help clients develop a reliable somatic base of support through the feet, legs, and pelvis, supporting emotion regulation, embodied presence, and psychological flexibility.

Why Sensorimotor Psychotherapy?   

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) brings the body into the therapeutic process, helping clients recognize and release the physical imprints of trauma. By tuning into bodily sensations, movements, and posture, clients can access deeper self-awareness and develop new, more adaptive responses—empowering them to heal and live with greater ease and resilience.
