“Mindful-Somatic Approaches to Trauma Therapy”
(1.0 CE hour)
Learning Objectives
In recent decades, a number of therapy methods have developed that have shown to be highly effective in resolving acute trauma, developmental trauma, PTSD, and other emotionally overwhelming conditions by working directly with the body (via internal sensations, posture, impulses, etc.) in a state of open curiosity (i.e., mindfulness).
In this presentation, you will:
(a) gain a basic understanding of the theoretical principles generally shared by the most evidence-based mindful-somatic trauma therapy modalities, which include Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi Mindful-Somatic Psychotherapy, and EMDR, among others;
(b) gain a basic understanding of the most essential practices of these modalities – how they are informed by the theory and the particular sequence with which they are generally carried out in practice;
