Dr Pat Ogden is the creator of the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Method, a pioneer in somatic psychology, an author, international lecturer and one of the leading voices revolutionising our approach to healing trauma.

Her books include “Trauma and the Body”, “Sensorimotor Psychotherapy”, and “The Pocket Guide to Sensorimotor Psychotherapy in Context”, which advocates for an anti-racist perspective in psychotherapy practice. 

In this conversation, you’ll learn: 

— What sensorimotor psychotherapy is, how it was developed and the foundational principles it is built upon.

— Why the body is “a manifestation of the unconscious”, how each of our bodies tell a story and how to tune in to the story that your body might be telling you. 

— How relational misattunements in early life are stored somatically, and how the developing self is defined both by who our caregivers perceive us to be, and also who they deny us to be

— The role our sociocultural context plays in our mental health and wellbeing.

— The importance of taking an experiential approach to your therapeutic education.

And more.

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy: An Introduction — Dr Pat Ogden, PhD

Consider the use of drugs or alcohol as a coping mechanism for pain, dissociation, or 'Self Repair.' Treating only the addiction is often insufficient. Process the traumas and observe the resulting changes in how you feel.

Alcohol Or Substance Use

Bessel van der Kolk MD spends his career studying how children and adults adapt to traumatic experiences, and has translated emerging findings from neuroscience and attachment research to develop and study a range of treatments for traumatic stress in children and adults.

In 1984, he set up one of the first clinical/research centers in the US dedicated to study and treatment of traumatic stress in civilian populations, which has trained numerous researchers and clinicians specializing in the study and treatment of traumatic stress, and which has been continually funded to research the impact of traumatic stress and effective treatment interventions. He has focused on studying treatments that stabilize physiology, increase executive functioning and help traumatized individuals to feel fully alert to the present. ​

His efforts resulted in the establishment of Trauma Center (now the Trauma Research Foundation) that consisted of a well-trained clinical team specializing in the treatment of children and adults with histories of child maltreatment, that applied treatment models that are widely taught and implemented nationwide, a research lab that studied the effects of neurofeedback and MDMA on behavior, mood, and executive functioning, and numerous trainings nationwide to a variety of mental health professional, educators, parent groups, policy makers, and law enforcement personnel.

Healing Trauma: Niklas Trane on Psychosynthesis & Trauma Recovery Techniques

Beyond the Limits of Conventional Trauma Therapy is a discussion that examines the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in addressing the complex trauma experienced by veterans. It argues that CBT, while helpful for specific thought patterns and behaviors, falls short when dealing with deeply rooted and compounded trauma. This podcast presents Ernie Vecchio's integrated model of trauma therapy as an alternative approach that emphasizes a holistic understanding of the psyche. This model, incorporating elements like the observer, the human spirit, the ego, and the heart, aims to facilitate healing by engaging with all aspects of the self. The discussion further explores the promise and potential limitations of psychedelic therapy, suggesting that Vecchio's approach could enhance the integration of psychedelic experiences, leading to lasting healing. Ultimately, Vecchio advocates for an integrated approach to trauma therapy that acknowledges the multifaceted nature of veterans' experiences and promotes sustainable recovery through self-awareness and inner strength.

Leave Today is the raw, unvarnished gut-check of a woman breaking a generational cycle. With the soul of Al Green and the lyrical ferocity of Mary J. Blige, she delivers a sermon on a front porch. Her voice, a low contralto steeped in gospel roots and southern Americana, becomes a weapon of self-preservation. This is the moment she rejects silence as weakness and accepts that "it's biblical, eye for an eye." Every note is a testament to the fact that her pain is her power, and her silence was always a war in the chamber.

Trauma therapist in Ottawa, Ontario supporting individuals to heal into safety, calm, expansion, and joy.

Humbly sitting and assisting others in healing from severe trauma, I have spent my career understanding the human psyche and its response to suffering. My clients say: “It is sad that we have to sever a spinal cord or be amputated to care where we land on the Humane Spectrum!”  Today, https://www.intentional-evolution.org/ offers evidence that our shared inner journeys have a common theme: everyone experiences division. I am suggesting that people have to heal their inner division before repair appears in the culture. Then, and only then, can we connect, be empathetic, and have a reciprocal relationship with ourselves and others. Tune in and listen to discussions around my teachings.
