Sensorimotor Psychotherapy for Trauma Themes Online Course Content
This course will teach the necessary mindfulness and body-based skills psychotherapists utilize when working with clients to identify and process the ongoing residues many experience following a traumatic experience related to any incident, event, abuse, harm, or cause.
The gentle but effective approach of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy incorporates somatic client work, where psychotherapists can go beyond the spoken word and inspire individuals to realize positive change from the inside out.
Recognizing that the body plays a profound role in trauma processing and recovery, this comprehensive, holistic treatment approach was developed by SPI founder, Pat Ogden PhD, and colleagues. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is used by clinicians as a standalone method and or is easily combined with other treatment modalities.
Participants will learn about the three-phase system behind Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and how to guide clients gently through this therapeutic process, breaking down each step into pillars of:
- Safety and Stabilization
- Processing
- Integration
Our approach is reliant on collaborations between the therapist and client, with trust and sensitivity essential to achieving positive outcomes.
Clinicians who have completed Sensorimotor Psychotherapy training will possess the skills they need to introduce this approach immediately, drawing on the body to support clients struggling with trauma or distress and using their knowledge to adapt their treatments and therapies to assist clients with complex conditions.
