Sensorimotor Psychotherapy to address the lingering impact of trauma.
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy to address the lingering impact of trauma.
The debilitating aftermath of trauma lies in the patterns of response that endure over time and impair the survivor’s well-being in the here and now. The past cannot be undone, but addressing and changing these habits of organizing internal experience through Sensorimotor Psychotherapy can resolve the cumulative effects of repeated trauma.
In this presentation of a recorded zoom therapy session, Pat is the therapist, and Ava Rose, certified in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) and method actor, portrays one of her own clients, “Ellen,” who has a history of recent and past sexual abuse, as well as intergenerational trauma.
Learning Objectives Include:
This session demonstrates working to resolve traumatic arousal with the SP intervention of “sensorimotor sequencing” and using body oriented techniques to elicit active defenses. Since the client froze during previous abuse and tends to freeze currently when faced with challenge, experiencing her capacity to defend is especially empowering.
During the session, layers of trauma emerge, including past, recent and trans-generational. We demonstrate how to work with the effects of these traumas as they emerge by staying focused on how internal experience is organized into habits of response, and facilitating change through mindful, body oriented interventions.

If you’re a therapist or counsellor who is seeking to expand your clinical approach with innovative body based techniques and case conceptualization, this webinar is tailor-made for you! We also welcome psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, body workers, counsellors, allied mental health professionals, and health & wellbeing professionals.
Why 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.
