Divided Mind, Divided Body: Parts work through the lens of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy

This presentation will explore the challenges, risks and rewards of working somatically with dissociative clients, elucidate how the body reflects and sustains both daily life parts of the self and those stuck in trauma time, and clarify how the body can be an asset in helping these parts communicate and cooperate. Recognizing that certain actions can be experienced as threatening to certain parts of the self, we will look at how to integrate instead of override internal parts when working with posture and movement.
