Psychotherapeutic Touch Training for Clinicians

The next training is scheduled for June 16th. Link here for more information.

Coming Soon!
Friday Afternoon Workshops

I'll be running a series of Friday afternoon workshops from 3-4:30 with two main themes.
Chill out - don't freak out: is a series for folks dealing with worries, obsessions and general anxiety. The first topic will be on how to present to the public.
Cultivating Couplehood: this series is aimed at couples who want to improve their relationships. Both in the partnership do not have to attend to get benefit. The tools are also useful for anyone in any kind of relationship.

Check back soon for dates!

Free Educational In-Service Trainings for Health Care Providers

• Assessing for Psychological Trauma During Initial Intake: Many medical providers are uncomfortable addressing patients' emotional and psychological states. Untreated trauma can create somatization (physical symptoms rooted in psychological states) which can be detrimental to patient recovery. In this 30-60 minute in service, medical staff will learn how to quickly evaluate for psychological trauma and learn some quick skills for helping patients to down-regulate an overactive and traumatized nervous system.
  


• How Medical Somatic Psychotherapy Can Assist Patient Recovery: Medical Somatic Psychotherapy is Somatic Psychotherapy that is focused on those with psychosomatic symptoms, injury, chronic injury, chronic illness, chronic pain, and other limitations in physical functioning. Medical Somatic Psychotherapists are cross-trained in Body Psychotherapy and Massage Therapy and provide hands-on psychophysiological interventions. In this in-service medical providers will learn about the theory and practical application of Medical Somatic Psychotherapy and how it can significantly increase patient recovery.
  
  

Workshops for Mental Health Professionals

• Psychotherapeutic Touch for Psychotherapists: Level I Basic Training
  Many mental health organizations have a no-touch policy based upon fear of litigation. Making therapeutic choices based on fear is both unethical and does a disservice to our clients. Furthermore, most Masters' programs do a poor job of educating future therapists about touch in psychotherapy. Topics covered will be the ethics of touch in psychotherapy, when is touch indicated and contraindicated, multicultral issues with therapeutic touch, and therapist exploration of their own relationship to touch. CEUs will be available for this 8-hour training. To be added to the waiting list, please send an email. For schedule, click here. See related article
  


• Psychotherapeutic Touch for Therapists: Level II Extensive Training
  This course continues the work from Level I with greater focus on therapist exploration of their own responses to touch, somatic attunement, as well as more practical application on the use of touch. This course is 20 hours and CEUs will also be available for this course. Coming in 2013.
