Somatic Hypnosis Training
Have you got clients who, no matter what approaches you use, remain "stuck"? Previous trauma not only changes the mind, it is also stored as body-memory trauma. "Top down" therapeutic approaches, which focus on cognitive awareness, can only be so effective when the body remains stuck in trauma time. Somatic therapies provide the means to work with the body and mind as one. Somasense® provides you with a clear protocol on how to work with your client's mind-body connection and to release stored trauma in a safe way.
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to call yourself a Somasense® practitioner and utilise the client resources and marketing materials which accompany the course, displaying to your clients a seal of quality and specialisation as a somatic therapist.
Somasense® developed from my desire to work in a more meaningful way with clients who, no matter how much work we did together, seemed to remain "stuck". When I realised that "top down" approaches, which prioritised cognitive change, failed to help these clients move forwards, I increasingly researched somatic approaches and began to incorporate mind-body modalities into my practice. The transformations my clients experienced were remarkable and over the years I developed an accessible and highly effective protocol which I now want to share with you.
