Peter Levine on Adding Somatic Techniques to Your Practice

Most therapy approaches are cerebral and theoretical, marginalizing bodily experiences in favor of thoughts and intellectual insights. Somatic Experiencing® founder Peter Levine knows exactly how to break through this barrier by “bringing the body into therapy.” Through a dynamic live discussion and spontaneous demonstration of his powerful techniques with Psychotherapy.net’s founder, Victor Yalom, Levine will teach you how to help your clients unlock their body’s healing power. And whether your client is struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, sexuality, or simply wants to improve their daily stress management skills, you will learn how to help them do so by deepening both your own and their somatic awareness.

For Levine, “the body is always ready to tell its story through a voice that doesn’t use words.” And like our clients, therapists can’t be fully present unless they too are aware of their bodies. So, regardless of your own theoretical background or skill level, or whether you work live or remotely with clients, you will quickly apply these powerful and surprisingly simple somatic techniques to your own life and to those of your clients.
