“I can’t believe that we were able to do this online!”

I’m amazed at the possibility of listening to my body and allowing it to do what it WANTS to do! I can’t believe that we were able to do this online!

– C.C., Addictions Counselor

Talk Therapy Has Limits

Talk therapy alone often hits a wall with certain clients – especially ones suffering from complex trauma, chronic anxiety, depression, or addiction.

As a therapist, this can leave you feeling stuck and unsure what to do next. You care deeply about helping your clients, but don’t have the somatic tools and training to break through where talk therapy falls short.

One of the key issues: Unlike basic mindfulness and body awareness techniques, true embodiment goes far deeper and offers greater attunement with your clients – making it much harder to learn and integrate into your practice.

You want to get to this next level, but there hasn’t been a clear pathโ€ฆ until now.

“…feeling confident in my ability to lead in an embodied and intimate manner.”

– S.M., International Corporate Management

Your Instructor, Trusted Embodiment Expert Susan Aposhyan

With over 50 years of experience, Susan is uniquely qualified to take you step-by-step into mastery of embodied therapy.

Susan understands the frustration of wanting to incorporate embodiment but not feeling capable.

That’s why her approach is meticulously designed to instill confidence through hands-on experience and a proven framework.

“Her living example of sounding, breathing, embodying provided encouragement for my body to let voice and sound happen.”

Susan’s verbal prompts were very helpful for me to allow my breath to flow freely and tune into different parts of my body, especially organs and fluids. I felt refreshed, rejuvenated, and present after the embodiment. I am so encouraged to do the work: engage most respectfully with my natural intelligence, practice natural movement, embodied speech, and cultivate sensory attunement to bring the embodied awareness into the moment-to-moment experience of my life.

Frequently asked

questions

Q: Why is somatics important in psychotherapy?

Somatics is important in psychotherapy because it helps therapists and clients get in touch with the wisdom and messages of the body. When we are disconnected from our bodies, we miss crucial information that can lead to healing and change. Somatics allows us to tap into the body’s innate intelligence.

This course goes deeper into embodiment and somatic practices than most other modalities. It moves beyond just asking “Where do you feel that in your body?” to help you and your clients develop a true attention span for the body. The practices will allow you to access the body’s wisdom from the bottom-up, rather than just applying top-down techniques.

This course is unique because it presents embodiment as a spiritual practice – a way to connect with our whole self including body, mind, and spirit. The teacher has over 50 years of experience with embodiment, allowing her to demonstrate how to apply it in clinical practice. The course also focuses on identifying desires and translating them through the body.

Yes, this course will give you tools to help engage resistant clients. You’ll learn practices and cycles to interact with clients in a bottom-up way, meeting them where they are. The course will also help you go deeper into your own embodiment first, so you are fully present and attuned to invite clients into greater body awareness.

Each module is filled with Susan’s on-demand content. You’ll have unlimited access to the modules, plus recorded training calls that include explanations, demos, and guided practice.

Unfortunately, we are not able to get CEs from organizations such as the APA for a course on somatics.

The Academy of Therapy Wisdom is an inspiring, multidimensional platform for learning, with courses & videos that are easy to use, access & digest. Our goal is to help you become a more confident, capable & compassionate therapist who works with their clients in a new way.
