This training is designed to give psychotherapists a practical understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the body as it applies to Somatic Psychology and Somatic Resourcing in psychotherapy. The focus of the training will be on developing clinical skills rather then personal growth. Students are expected to have attained a level of maturity in their personal process and if needed seek professional support for working with personal issues that might arise during the course of the training.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

1. Psychotherapist applicants are expected to have a graduate level degree in psychology or related field, or the equivalent in professional training, supervision and experience.

2. Advanced level Body worker applicants (i.e. professional training in body therapy beyond massage school) must have training and practice in a system of somatic psychology (i.e. Hakomi, IBP, Bodynamics, etc.)

3. Applicants are expected to have an active therapy practice.

4. The training involves the use of palpation and movement. Training members will be expected to give and receive bounded therapeutic touch. They will also be expected to have their movement patterns observed by class members. Please know that physical and psychological safety concerns will be respected in this training.
