Sensorimotor Psychotherapy – a 12-day Evidence Based Comprehensive Course 2026-2027 with Janina Fisher, PhD & Lana Epstein M., Ed., LCSW
Description
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) is a body-oriented talk therapy that blends cognitive and emotional approaches, verbal dialogue, and physical interventions to directly address the implicit memories and neurobiological effects of trauma. By using bodily experience as a primary entry point in trauma therapy, rather than the events of the “story,” we attend to how the body is processing information and its interface with emotions and cognitive meaning making.
Our Level 1 trauma training 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 and accessible interventions for identifying and working with limiting somatic patterns, disturbed cognitive and emotional processing, and the fragmented sense of self experienced by so many traumatized individuals.
By the end of the training, students will be able to apply basic SP techniques with clients who are distressed or traumatized and adapt SP skills for more complex clinical situations.
Janina Fisher, Ph.D. is a licensed clinical psychologist and a former instructor, Harvard Medical School. An international expert on the treatment of trauma, she is an Advisory Board member of the Trauma Research Foundation and the author of Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors: Overcoming Self-Alienation (2017), Transforming the Living Legacy of Trauma: a Workbook for Survivors and Therapists (2021), and The Living Legacy Instructional Flip Chart (2022). She is best known for her work on integrating mindfulness-based and somatic interventions into trauma treatment. More information can be found on her website: www.janinafisher.com.
