Specialized Certificate in Process Work Approaches
to Somatic Psychology & SBGI Collaboration
Somatic Psychology Certificate
The certificate program gives participants a foundation in Process
Work methods that apply and relate to embodied experiences and
the larger medical or somatic field. It is for all students and
professionals who are interested in learning Process Work as
an extension of their studies in somatic psychology, social work,
counseling, body work, movement therapy, allopathic, naturopathic,
or oriental medicine, or who want to increase their professional
experience in their respective fields.
Participants will become acquainted with basic theories and
skills that facilitate the dreaming experience as it manifests
in the body whether it be in body feelings or symptoms, movement,
sounds, moods and altered states, relationships or even in language
pointing to body experience. Topics include philosophical grounding
in models of experience such as Taoism, indigenous and shamanic
cultures, and quantum mechanics; co-creative healing as an integrative
theory of inter-relatedness of individual and collective experience;
client/therapist and patient/doctor relationships issues including
transference and counter transference and multiple role relationship
issues; inquiry into using the process work model in medical,
movement and bodywork applications.
