Event Content
1) Enhance your understanding of the SE concepts of Tracking Sensations, Resources, Pendulation and Titration.
2) Understand the reasons for the prevailing concern/fear of re-traumatising clients, how it can compromise the SE process and how to overcome it.
3) Learn why a Flexible Therapeutic Frame, of guiding as well as following a Client’s process, is essential for better outcomes.
4) How to resolve trauma symptoms more efficiently, in terms of the body sensations that most people can report, by tracking the body more precisely when in different stages of the threat response cycle.
5) Acquire Strong Resources to reduce the risk of re-traumatisation that involves working with:
- – the physiology of the brain
- – movement of important muscles as resources
- – self-touch and touch
- – interpersonal resonance
- – subtle and collective energy bodies
6) How to remove common mistakes about the physiology of emotions and improve your work with emotions – the ‘A’ of SIBAM.

BOOK REVIEWS
Peter A. Levine, PhD Founder of Somatic Experiencing® and author of In an Unspoken Voice and Waking the Tiger
“A grand accomplishment.”
Jack Kornfield, PhD Author of fourteen books, including A Path with Heart
“A knowledgeable and skilled exploration of emotion and the body—and how to process and heal emotional wounds efficiently through the body.”
Ian MacNaughton, MBA, PhD Psychotherapist and author of Body, Breath & Consciousness
“Don’t miss this book! A valuable guide for therapists and interested folks alike. Introducing new concepts, solid theory, and grounded practice for working to embody emotions in gentle and innovative ways. The concept of sensorimotor emotions is a unique and much-needed contribution to the field of human consciousness.”
William R. Emerson, PhD Psychologist, winner of US National Science Foundation Award for Significant Contributions to Psychology
Selvam’s extraordinary book offers an in-depth explanation of how the human body is involved in generating, defending against, and later triggering traumatic emotional experiences—especially prelinguistic ones—and is therefore a vital source of understanding of the physiology of implicit trauma memories that dominate the work of those engaged in pre and perinatal psychology. The Practice of Embodying Emotions is brilliant and humble, research-based, and intuitive. It is a ‘game changer’ in the field of trauma therapy, and I personally rate it five out of five.”
