Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Training Courses - Applying somatic sequencing and body based approaches to trauma interventions
The emerging knowledge about neurobiology is fast becoming the basis for practice with children and young people who have experienced abuse and violence. Critically, there is an increasing understanding that the body holds many cues and after-effects of abuse and violence and that these often cannot be accessed using traditional therapeutic methods.
Traditional therapy addresses the cognitive and emotional elements of trauma, but lacks techniques that work directly with the physiological elements.
It is with this framework in focus that the Australian Childhood Foundation is very pleased to partner with the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute of the USA to offer this extensive and practical course for welfare, education and health professionals interested in enhancing their practice beyond talk-based interventions.
This 85 hour course presents simple body oriented interventions for tracking, naming and safely exploring trauma-related somatic activation, creating new competencies and restoring a somatic sense of self. The focus of the course is on effective and practical interventions able to be transferred directly into practice. The course will be facilitated by experienced professionals from the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute, whose director is Dr Pat Ogden.
This is the only opportunity to access this comprehensive and expansive level of training in sensorimotor interventions in Australia.
