2024 – 2025 Innate Somatic IntelligenceTM Trauma Therapy Approach Training (ISITTA)

Begins: September 20, 2024
Location: Online

Innate Somatic Intelligence™ Trauma Therapy is an integrative, relational, and somatic approach to healing trauma. Based on essential Hakomi Therapy techniques, ISITTA integrates a polyvagal trauma-informed view on the somatic, relational, and clinical skills needed to transform trauma experiences. This training is suited for Therapists who want to include more of a somatic and internal movement focus in their work, and for Psychedelic Assisted Therapists who want to include a holistic somatic approach in their integration work.

This highly experiential training is designed for therapists/practitioners who want to learn from their own somatic experience, be part of a mindful learning community, and be guided by trauma-informed principles. We begin with the innate wisdom of the trauma practitioner’s own nervous system by using trauma-informed movement practices* to develop and increase an attuned and resourced connection to oneself and one’s body. We then continue to layer techniques into these practices that are designed to facilitate clients’ emotional and somatic releases and work with Trauma states and memories. These practices are also key to studying the limiting trauma beliefs that hold back the client’s growth.

ISITTA training is based on the core assumption that trauma healing is not a problem to be solved, but rather a psychobiological process to be connected to. This connection with the soma is how we access the innate healing intelligence within. Trauma healing can reconnect us with innate somatic intelligence that is available in all of us: the “river beneath” the trauma. This river is the innate and fluid state that accesses a healing reservoir within. Through the safety of the attuned therapeutic relationship where we use precise somatic and clinical practices.

We train the trauma therapist with in-depth somatic tools such as self-regulating practices, felt-sense awareness (somatic attunement), safe touch and movement therapy techniques, and memory-processing tools, to help heal both individual and collective trauma experiences.
