Many current models of clinical practice emphasize the role of direct experience in therapeutic action. Through the work of Alan Schore and others, clinicians understand the importance of evoking right brain, present moment processes in long term psychotherapy. But easier said than done when our patients compartmentalize and dissociate!

What’s a clinician to do? Well, the body contains the roots of past experience in present time and it can provide both an access route to dissociated material as well as a means of regulating affect.

This workshop will provide an introduction to the use of somatic and experiential techniques in long term psychotherapy. These techniques will be illustrated through the presentation of a psychotherapy case in which somatic and experiential methods were instrumental in addressing and healing relational trauma. Transcripts from sessions will be included. As part of the workshop, conference participants will observe the presenter interacting with a “class” of four people. “Class” members will react to key concepts highlighted in the didactic material and will also participate in demonstrations of somatic interventions. The wider audience will be invited to ask questions at the end of the presentation. Workshop participants will come away with an understanding of the role of the body in augmenting and deepening clinical practice in addition to some ideas about how to implement these techniques with patients.

At the conclusion of this conference, participants will be able to:

  1. Explain the focus in somatic/experiential psychotherapy on present moment experience.
  2. Observe differences in the interventions designed for compartmentalization and those for dissociation.
  3. Select a few interventions to use with clients to deepen clinical technique.
  4. Identify moments in long term treatment that lend themselves to the application of somatic/experiential techniques.

PLEASE NOTE: Recording in any form of this live streaming event is NOT permitted.

This conference is appropriate for mental health professionals at all levels of experience and offers 3 CEs.
