Implicit predictions and expectations of ourselves, others and the world are reflected in the autonomic arousal, movement, and posture of the body. This workshop will examine how the body’s patterns forecast the future and look at the role of the body in the treatment of trauma and attachment disturbances.  The different impact of trauma, attachment and relational strife (societal and individual) will be explored.  Body-oriented approaches that mitigate trauma-related dysregulation will be differentiated from those that help resolve the strong emotions, cognitive distortions and intimacy issues associated with relational strife.  Additionally, the role of the body in fostering resilience in the face of current trauma, such as the pandemic and systemic oppression, will be explored. This approach will be illustrated through lecture, cases examples, brief experiential exercises and a few worksheets to foster resilience that can also be used with clients.

Adapting Sensorimotor Psychotherapy to an online format presents particular challenges and opportunities. The second part of this workshop will look at the challenges of body therapy in an online format, addressing office set-up, use of props, tips to maintain an emotional connection and special considerations in working with posture and movement in a telehealth format. 

Throughout the webinar, Dr. Ogden will weave in considerations with regard to the current COVID 19 pandemic, racialized trauma and systemic oppression. 

Course Objectives

  1. Describe two reasons why addressing the body is important in therapy
  2. Explain two interventions to regulate arousal and enhance resilience
  3. Describe the role of the body in fostering resilience
  4. Describe two challenges of working with the body via telehealth and how to address them
