In Level Two of the Hakomi Professional Training, you’ll expand your skills in Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy in three important ways: by developing your “selfhood,” refining your therapeutic strategy, and by working your personal edges as a therapist through in-depth supervised practice. In Hakomi, developing your “selfhood” means expanding your capacity to work with even the most challenging clients and situations from a deeply mindful and compassionate state.

Through targeted experiential exercises and supervised practice, our Level 2 training will help you explore your organization as a therapist and surface and transform unseen patterns that limit your effectiveness with clients. You’ll also refine your therapeutic strategy by learning to choose the tools and interventions that are most appropriate for your clients. Therapists often remark that the deep personal work that unfolds during their second year of Hakomi training profoundly impacts not only their therapy sessions, but their personal relationships as well.

In this training, you will learn how to:

• Deepen your therapist seat and become mindful of your core issues impacting your clinical effectiveness.
• Make deeper contact with your clients through trusting your inner knowing.
• Use our diagnostic map such as the Hakomi Sensitivity Cycle to tailor your clinical interventions with greater precision.
• Utilize Character maps to identify the clients’ developmental stages.
• Develop therapeutic strategies that allow you to access core material more quickly.
• Deepen your clinical skill in working with internalized child states to bring about lasting transformation.
• Identify core beliefs towards a transformational experience
• Learn advanced Hakomi techniques such as advanced contact, accessing, and tracking
• Identify therapeutic systems that tend to get stuck and how to jump out of them
• Develop a trauma-informed lens for the Hakomi method

Because we tailor our trainings to participants’ in-the-moment needs and development, the curriculum above is subject to change.
