Discover how Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) can effectively treat shock and facilitate the completion of involuntary sensations, impulses, and movements in PTSD and C-PTSD by addressing the body’s unresolved trauma.

When clients are exposed to trauma, their bodies often register an immediate shock response to the threat. If this shock isn’t processed effectively, it can cause havoc with midbrain systems responsible for many unexplained trauma symptoms as well as brain systems involved with the formation of involuntary sensations, impulses, and movements, negative beliefs, and dysregulated emotions which are part of the traumatic memory.

However, many trauma treatment modalities that focus solely on addressing traumatic memory may overlook the crucial element of shock and related activation, hindering the healing process in the treatment of PTSD, attachment wounding, and other mental health issues.

Using one of SPs core techniques for the treatment of trauma, sensorimotor sequencing, clients can not only resolve shock and the complete involuntary sensations, impulses, and movements but also reconnect with their embodied sense of self, paving the way for the development of a healthier and more integrated self.

Through presentation and real in-session videos with Q&A, you’ll discover essential SP strategies that you can effectively apply in your practice.
