Hakomi Trainings

Hakomi Trainings:

Hakomi is a subtle and sophisticated therapy.

The goals of the Training are to develop a deep understanding of:

  1. the principles of the Hakomi Method and the ability to work within them in an attitude of loving presence.
  2. the organization of personality and character, and the ability to use this understanding discriminatingly.
  3. the techniques of the therapeutic process and the ability to use these precisely and appropriately.
  4. one’s own character and process as an instrument for therapy.

We have two types of trainings, Comprehensive and Professional Skills

Hakomi Comprehensive Training is usually 60 training days (325 contact hours), and is our primary format for teaching the complete Hakomi Method. Students may enroll in the entire two-year training, or in many locations enroll first in Year One and continue into Year Two. These trainings are designed for professionals and graduate students in psychotherapy, counseling, and social work; and also open to certain individuals working in related fields (e.g. coaching, acupuncture, and other healing fields), or transitioning into the field of counseling and psychotherapy. This is also the primary training for those seeking certification in the Hakomi Method.

Professionals Skills Trainings are approximately 120-200 hours, and are primarily open to professionals practicing psychotherapy, counseling, and social work, and may accept graduate students in these fields. These trainings are mainly designed for those seeking to learn specific skills, and can also be a track for those seeking certification in the Hakomi Method.

In the U.S., completion of at least 12 hours of an Introduction workshop(s) is the required prerequisite for applying to Hakomi Comprehensive & Professional Skills Training. Additional prerequisites for a specific training (if any) will be stated in the training description. If you are interested in applying for training, we highly recommend attending a workshop in the same region/with the same team you will be applying for. Training with the team closest to where you live also gives you an opportunity to connect with other Hakomi students and practitioners in your community.

Level 2 Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy Comprehensive Training, Southeast
(instructed in English language)

Designed for those individuals who have completed at least 120 hours of training in Hakomi Experiential Psychotherapy, the Character series focuses on the map of character theory and practice. Character refers to early learning and adaptation processes. As children, we imprint experiences that shape our neural development in ways that result in an enduring set of beliefs and perceptions. These beliefs, or implicit models, unconsciously organize our behavior resulting in automatic and habitual strategies for living that are both adaptive and limiting.
