Soleil Hepner Hand on Heart Somatic Therapy Training

“Trigger,” “Dissociate,” “Disconnect.” These are just a few of the words that describe that moment your client clenches, scrunches, curls, holds, weeps, or shakes uncontrollably. All dialog stops as their gaze drifts away. In the silence, the visceral experience is happening – now. In this moment, the physical body, in all its presentation of trauma, becomes the most powerful tool available.

Get out of the Chair & into the Body
With Soleil Hepner, C-IAYT
Somatic Therapy Educator since 2005

Hello Therapists!

Join us for a transformative journey into harnessing the power of the body in your therapy or coaching practice. In the Somatic Session 6-Module Series, I've distilled two decades of experience into a dynamic exploration of 'bottom-up' direct experiences, and offer simple, ethical, and effective tools to address trauma, pain, grief, stress, recovery, and holistic mental well-being.

What is included?
Each distinct Module has a TOPIC and includes:

EMBODIED EXPERIENCE to find personal relevance
DIDACTIC LECTURE on how this relates to your work
REAL PRACTICE homework for your work and life
COACHING & PEER SUPPORT between sessions

Since 2005, I've taught therapists, coaches, and wellness experts of all kinds how to bring the body into their client sessions. Let's explore how to do that easily and effectively for both in-person and online sessions, whether you are new to this, or already somatically inclined.

In Breath & Body,
Soleil

PS. Continuing Ed credits (CAMFT) may be available for therapists. C-IAT therapists get CEs here.

Psycho-Education

Module 5: Discern the Body

Dialoging with
Somatic Parts

This module explores how to merge (Rogerian) Dialog techniques with somatic "parts" in the moment when pain, trauma, stress or grief arise in the body. Therapists learn to nourish an environment of acceptance and validation of the body’s organic responses and befriend the natural parts of the self that are revealed in Direct Experience.

Module 6: Practice the Body

Transforming through
Embodied Action

As we complete the series, this module focuses on how to move from the insights found in embodied direct experience to actions (not re-actions) that lead to lasting change through self-empowered at-home practices. Therapists will gain the skills needed to help their clients use their experience to move forward with informed choice and transform their lives.
