The PPT Professional Somatic Resourcing Training is designed to give psychotherapists a practical understanding of the anatomy, biomechanics, and psychology of a client's somatic patterns and movements in a way that is clear, accessible and directly applicable to psychotherapeutic practice. The Somatic Resourcing Training is experientially based allowing therapists to both deeply experience how the body moves as well as understand how to use movement and touch as psycho-physical interventions in their work.

Touch, Bodywork and Psychotherapy

This training will no longer be offered.

3 three day weekends (54 class hours)


Being embodied is central to all living processes. Without a body there is no life, as we know it. If the body is indeed central to living experience then it surely must have significant value in the psychological healing process. This experiential course investigates the appropriate use of touch and hands-on interventions that access, deepen, and explore psychological and emotional organization. The primary focus of the course is to provide the knowledge and skills needed to successfully integrate touch and hands-on work in clinical practice.

Somatic Approaches to Couples Therapy

This training will no longer be offered.

4 three-day weekends (72 class hours)


The Professional Training in a Somatic Approach to Couples Therapy, is an in-depth, experiential and didactic course of study in the practice of somatic psychotherapy as applied to working with couples. Because physical and psychological issues are always interactive and influential, a somatic approach is a powerful tool in successfully accessing and transforming the relational issues couples bring to therapy. Understanding how to work with the body, in a relational psychotherapy practice, enhances the depth and effectiveness of the therapeutic work.
