Professional Trainings in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
Developed by Pat Ogden, Ph.D
Level One: Training for The Treatment of Trauma Washington, D.C. December, 2010
with Lana Epstein, MA., LICSW and Kekuni Minton, Ph.D.
Lana Epstein, MA., LICSW, is a EMDRIA– approved consultant in EMDR, an ASCH-approved consultant in Hypnosis, a Consultant and past supervisor at the Trauma Center and was a Member of the NESTTD board for 6 years. Integrating a number of therapeutic models, Lana presents internationally and maintains a private practice in Lexington, Mas-sachusetts focusing on adult survivors of childhood trauma.
Traditional psychotherapy addresses the cognitive and emotional elements of trauma but lacks techniques that work directly with the physiological elements, despite the fact that trauma pro-foundly affects the body and that so many symptoms of traumatized individuals are somatically driven, inaccessible in a talking therapy context.
The Sensorimotor Psychotherapy™ Training for the Treatment of Trauma presents simple body-oriented interventions for tracking, naming and safely exploring trauma-related somatic activation, creating new competencies and restoring a somatic sense of self. Students will learn effective, ac-cessible interventions for identifying and working with disruptive somatic patterns, disturbed cog-nitive and emotional processing, and the fragmented sense of self experienced by so many trauma-tized individuals. Techniques are taught within a phase-oriented treatment approach, focusing first on stabilization and symptom reduction. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy can be easily and effectively integrated into psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and EMDR-focused treatments.
Kekuni Minton, Ph.D., is a founding trainer of SPI, co-author of Trauma and the Body: A Sensorimotor Approach to Psychotherapy with Dr. Pat Ogden, and a faculty member at Naropa University. His doctoral thesis in clinical psychology focused on somatic rela-tional therapy and he has special interests in meditation and cultural trauma. Dr. Minton was the resident psychotherapist at the Boulder County AIDS Project, and trains internationally for SPI.
