Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing, Step by Step – Master the Body-oriented Approach to Trauma and Stress Disorders
When clients have experienced traumatic events, no matter how long ago, they often carry the fragmented remnants—and the accompanying feelings of helplessness, fear, pain, and anxiety—deep in their bodies, beyond the reach of most talk therapy. For many therapists, helping these clients change complex, deeply entrenched responses can be frustrating work—especially after their best clinical efforts fail to bring about the healing these clients so desperately need.
Fortunately, trauma treatment innovator Peter Levine, after 50 years of research and clinical work, shares that the key to helping your client heal is not changing them, but working with their bodies to reveal the change within. That’s why he developed Somatic Experiencing (SE), an approach that taps into the power of psychological and physical cues to serve as a client’s unique guide to effective, long-lasting healing.
Now, in this groundbreaking Master Class, see Somatic Experiencing in action through powerful in-session videos and in-depth, therapist-to-therapist, conversations. You’ll get an inside understanding of the transformative SE approach by watching Levine demonstrate the essential techniques with three actual clients dealing with deep-rooted trauma, attachment wounds, shame, and chronic pain. Then join Networker editor Rich Simon as he sits down with Levine to take a deep dive into the nuts-and-bolts of each session, with thought-provoking questions that get to the heart of the SE techniques so you can learn to implement them into your own work.
Don’t miss this opportunity to experience Somatic Experiencing’s ability to dramatically improve outcomes—even with the most challenging cases.
Dramatic clinical demonstrations with in-depth analysis by Peter Levine and fellow psychotherapist Rich Simon make this revolutionary Master Class an essential learning experience for skilled therapists eager to bring a new dimension of healing to their current therapeutic approach. These sessions showcase the clinical mastery of Levine and demonstrate SE’s singular approach to working with trauma, attachment injuries, chronic pain, and sexual abuse.
