This Spotlight Series Event is brought to you in partnership with Integral Somatic Psychotherapy
Join Integral Somatic Psychotherapy® founder Raja Selvam as he shares a modern scientific basis for all somatic modalities.
These days, there is unprecedented interest in somatic interventions among mainstream psychotherapy professionals. In spite of this or perhaps because of it, CE organizations are increasingly withdrawing CEs for somatic approaches they used to approve on a regular basis, without offering clear reasons for the change in policy. Interestingly, mainstream modalities with neither scientific bases nor adequate outcomes research continue to receive CEs under a vague rule that they are used by a large number of mental health professionals.
A number of research findings in cognitive and affective neurosciences in the past twenty-five years have revolutionized our understanding of the central role played by the body in cognition, emotion, and behavior. This body of knowledge offers an adequate modern scientific basis for all body psychotherapy approaches, something that most mainstream psychological approaches lack. In this presentation, we will look at some of these findings, see how they constitute a solid scientific basis for somatic psychology, and explore how they could be used by different somatic psychology modalities to support their scientific validity.
Register now and we will send you updated information for the event and to be informed when the event recording is ready for viewing.
