BOULDER-BASED MENTORSHIP GROUPS

Embodied Learning Laboratory: Somatic Trauma Training
And Mentorship for Psychotherapists

Meets two Thursday mornings a month, Nov-April.

What You Will Gain:

 
  • Somatic trauma intervention and prevention skills
  • Physical and energetic tracking skills
  • Trust in how to utilize your body-centered, intuition as a therapist
  • Knowledge around how to work with your own energetic boundaries (and teach your clients how to do the same)
  • Skills for working with attachment trauma
  • Developmental maps and character structure
  • Personal sustainability as a therapist (how to stay energized, inspired, somatically connected to yourself, and avoid burning out!)
  • Integration of multiple somatic training methods
  • Trust in your unique way of working as a therapist

What Makes This Mentorship Group Unique:

This is not about learning “a single method,” though you will gain practical skills and knowledge from several methods as your facilitators are trained in: Somatic Experiencing, Emdr, Hakomi, Body-Mind Psychotherapy, Voice Dialogue and other Parts Work, Dance-Movement Therapy, Wilderness Work, Matrix Works, Psychodrama, Nervous System Energy Work, Qigong, and more. The Embodied Learning Laboratory is an opportunity to integrate different schools of learning to bring out your unique gifts. We’ll help you find and trust your particular way of working as a therapist.

Moreover, because this is an embodied learning laboratory, we’ll provide you with a balance between process and content. Over the course of the mentorship you’ll learn how to trust the moment and work at the edge of the unknown, while simultaneously gaining enough cognitive information and specific techniques to help your mind rest and feel confident in your knowing.

The intention in this laboratory is not to help you “get it right” or “find the right answer” but to support you in finding your particular way of working.
