This workshop is an introduction to how somatic and movement-based interventions can improve therapeutic attunement and client outcomes in session. The workshop will include opportunities to participate in four interventions and practice facilitating one somatic and one movement-based intervention. Participants will also receive facilitation handouts for each of the four interventions as well as a list of guiding questions for integration.

A willingness to engage in somatic and movement-based experientials is required. Personal experience with somatic or movement based therapy is not required, but can be helpful.
