Beyond Words: Experiencing Somatic Psychotherapy

Antioch University Santa Barbara MA in Clinical Psychology program presents this unique one-day training will explore current developments in the area of somatic psychology through a combined seminar/workshop learning experience. Faculty and practitioner-scholars will share expertise on the intersection of interpersonal neurobiology, attachment, sensorimotor psychotherapy, and the arts. Participants will learn the essentials of integrating somatic practice within a range of areas of clinical work, particularly in healing trauma.

The importance of somatic based psychotherapeutic approaches for effective, interdisciplinary, and holistic psychological treatment of individuals of all ages is rapidly emerging through recent advances in affective, interpersonal neurobiology. The shift in emphasis from talking through and about the past, to integrating bodily-based here-and-now methodologies is a crucial learning area for all practitioners particularly in treating trauma.
