Join us for an opportunity to explore the collaborative power of art therapy and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) in clinical practice.

Through a combination of experiential learning and creative exploration, Jacquie Compton, RC, RCAT, will examine how art-based techniques can deepen therapeutic work, enhance self-expression, and facilitate embodied healing.

Participants will engage in somatic inquiry, creative expression, and self-reflection, discovering how art-based practices can serve as a bridge to deeper body awareness, emotional processing, and meaning-making.

By integrating art with SP, therapists can support clients in accessing and externalizing their internal experiences in ways that go beyond words.

Join us as we explore the transformative potential of art-based practices in fostering a deeper relationship with the wisdom of the body.

Through guided exploration, we will reflect on how creativity can be a powerful tool for expanding therapeutic possibilities and strengthening the mind-body connection.

You are invited to have simple art materials to reflect and explore with.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Sensorimotor Psychotherapy?

Trauma leaves its mark on the body. Yet, for many reasons, therapy has often ignored the body. SP can help clients use their own body’s wisdom. This can release trauma’s debilitating effects and develop somatic resources that help them engage more fully in their lives and relationships.

Why haven’t I heard about Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) training before?

SP creator, Dr. Pat Ogden, established Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute (SPI) in 1981. Until 2019, SPI almost exclusively relied on word of mouth to spread awareness of training in SP. With a rising demand for trauma therapy, we knew SP’s methods must reach further. We started offering various programs online. Now, more people than ever before can affordably and conveniently learn SP.

Will completing this course certify me in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy?

This course is an introduction to SP. Only licensed mental health practitioners who complete all three levels of SP Training through SPI are eligible for certification in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. See sensorimotor.org for details.

I've tried working with the body before, but it didn't work... How is this any different?

SP uniquely incorporates the body in therapy, using it as both a source of information and a target for intervention. By addressing both the physical and the psychological, SP can support a deep and effective approach to healing. This training will give you knowledge that comes from Dr. Ogden’s years of study and clinical experience. She developed SP based on what works.
