"In the realm of psychotherapy, the focus has traditionally been on the mind—the language, emotions, insights and cognitive processes of the client.
The body, however, has been relegated to the background, despite its profound role in shaping our experience .
This article delves into the significance of integrating the body into treatment for trauma and PTSD with a particular focus on Sensorimotor Psychotherapy – a holistic approach that recognizes the body as a vital target of intervention and avenue for healing in clinical practice."

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and the Embodied Experience in Clinical Practice - Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute In clinical practice, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy helps traumatized clients regulate their arousal, and learn adaptive actions.

We are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of Dr. Frank Anderson's new memoir, To Be Loved: A Story of Truth, Trauma & Transformation, on May 7th, 2024.

Rarely does a trauma therapist disclose their own trauma history… yet it’s the untold, brutally honest, heartbreaking story that made him the world-renowned trauma expert he is today.

Frank shares an incredibly inspiring story about growing up, not being able to be who he is, recreating childhood dysfunction in his adult life, ultimately coming out, finding love, raising a family, and healing his relationship with his parents.
His story embodies the profound human experience of seeking and receiving genuine love, acceptance, and connection. It signifies the universal longing to be seen, understood, and valued for who we truly are; authentically, wholeheartedly, and in alignment with our deepest truths.

This memoir is a testament to the potential for healing that lives in all of us. We all have our own story, our own trauma, our own truth. By reading Frank’s To Be Loved Story, we hope that you will find yours too.

After experiencing trauma, it can feel virtually impossible for some patients to move forward and fully re-engage in their own lives.

In it, they’ll do a deep-dive into parts of trauma therapy that are often overlooked – and yet they are essential for our work with trauma.

Take a peek at what the experts will get into:

-How to Identify and Treat the Invisible Wounds of Neglect

“Sensation is the language of the body, but it might be a language we haven’t learned.” – Dr. Pat Ogden, Body of Knowledge Card Deck

Layers of Trauma: A Recorded Session Analysis

In this presentation of a recorded Zoom therapy session, Pat is the therapist, and Ava Rose, certified in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) and method actor, portrays one of her own clients, “Ellen,” who has a history of recent and past sexual abuse, as well as intergenerational trauma.

This session demonstrates working to resolve traumatic arousal with the SP intervention of “sensorimotor sequencing” and using body oriented techniques to elicit active defenses. Since the client froze during previous abuse and tends to freeze currently when faced with challenges, experiencing her capacity to defend is especially empowering.

“When we are with others or out in the world, our attention is usually directed externally, and we can lose touch with our bodies and ourselves.” – Dr. Pat Ogden, Body of Knowledge Card Deck

This SP practice reminds us to periodically check in with our body, identifying sensations and then shifting focus to our surroundings. Try this “inner and outer focus” practice throughout your day and see how it alters your overall experience.
