For the first time,

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute is holding a level one trauma psychotherapy training for 2SLGBTQIA+ Learners.

Starts November 21, 2025

Presenter Katrina Curry

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) is a body-centered form of talk psychotherapy, created by Dr. Pat Ogden, 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.
