You are invited to join us at our monthly dinner program:
When the Body Speaks, An Introduction to
Somatic Psychotherapy
Presented by:
Amy Gladstone, LCSW, PhD
Amy Gladstone, LCSW, PhD is on the faculty of the Integrative Trauma Program of the National Institute for the Psychotherapies, and the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute where she co-teaches with Janina Fisher PhD, training psychotherapists in New York and nationally. She also is a full-time faculty member of Seton Hall School of Social Work and formerly was on the faculty of the Rutgers School of Social Work Doctoral Program. Certified in Somatic Experiencing and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and trained in EMDR, in her private practice she combines psychodynamic and somatic/experiential approaches to treatment.
Many of the current clinical models of practice emphasize the role of present moment experience in therapeutic action. The body contains the roots of past experience in present time. When clinicians learn how to pay attention, they discover that the body provides a new pathway to access hard-to-reach implicit material and an opportunity for profound experiences of healing.
Learning Objectives: Participants will be able to:
1. Describe the central focus of somatic psychotherapy.
2. Articulate how the use of mindfulness serves to investigate and deepen present-moment experience.
3. Identify 3-5 experiential interventions to utilize with clients that entail somatic experiencing techniques
4. Create a protocol for a somatic psychotherapy session.
