The Trauma Therapist

Pat Ogden, PhD is back and I have to say, I did it! I think I’ve done my best interview, yet, with her! (Not that this is the best interview that she’s done. I’m not saying that.)   I feel this is a really good one in that we go into a lot of detail about one particular case of Pat’s, and my goal here was to highlight the use of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, (SPI), rather than simply talk about it in general terms. Pat is a pioneer in somatic psychology and both Founder and Education Director of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute®, an internationally recognized school specializing in somatic–cognitive approaches for the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder and attachment disturbances.  She is co-founder of the Hakomi Institute, a clinician, consultant, international lecturer and trainer, and first author of the book, Trauma and the Body: A Sensorimotor Approach to Psychotherapy. Her second book, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy: Interventions for Trauma and Attachment (2015) is a practical guide to integrate Sensorimotor Psychotherapy® into the treatment of trauma and attachment issues.   Dr. Ogden is currently developing Sensorimotor Psychotherapy® for children, adolescents and families with colleagues. --- A giant thank-you to my sponsor for this episode:  Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. SPI is hosting a live webcast, Thursday, June 11, 2020. Understanding and Addressing Hopelessness and Helplessness through the lens of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.  The last several months have been disorienting for all; in the midst of so many of us living in fear of both the virus and its economic consequences, the United States is once again shaken as cities erupt amidst feelings of anger, anxiety, hopelessness and despair.  Join Dr. Bonnie Goldstein with discussant Dr. Pat Ogden, creator of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, for a special webinar on exploring ways to collaboratively address hopelessness, helplessness and despair amidst arduous complications and challenges.  We will deconstruct the negative or self-defeating messages our clients say to themselves while concomitantly addressing damaging messages implicitly and/or explicitly directed towards our clients.  Dr. Goldstein will explore the particular challenges therapists face when working with our younger clients, adolescents and young adults, fostering resilience in the face of uncertainty. Dr. Ogden will offer a wider understanding of the issues of hopelessness, helplessness, and vulnerability with an adult population. Join the webcast by visiting sensorimotor.org. It will be offered live on Thursday, June 11 and then subsequently sold as a pre-recorded digital seminar. --- In This Episode Sensorimotor PsychotherapySPI COVID resource page Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-trauma-therapist-podcast-with-guy-macpherson-phd-inspiring-interviews-with-thought-leaders-in-the-field-of-trauma/exclusive-contentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-trauma-therapist--5739761/support.You can learn more about what I do here:The Trauma Therapist Newsletter: celebrates the people and voices in the mental health profession.

Eduardo Duran is back.Eduardo is one of the foremost authorities on working with veterans and Native populations around the subjects of war and healing soul wounds. Eduardo was born in northern New Mexico and at age 14 his family relocated to California.

I’m already an anxious type, but this was a bit more intense.My wife was continuing to go to work (fortunately, though now with a growing concern that she’s going to be infected), I continued to work at home, but now I was suddenly joined by my two kiddos (ages 4 and 11!). Crazy!!!As someone who enjoyed reading the news, I was now becoming very anxious with all the numbers and tallies and imminent threat of sickness, and trying to manage my kids at home while also trying to keep my business going—I realized that if this continued, if I continued like this--that I was going to go nuts.So, I just slowed down. I stopped reading the news as much and I said to myself, Okay, what can I do (my inspiration was Leo Buscaglia), what can I control, what can I do to take care of myself and my family, and how can I model for my kids during this time. This became my purpose.This shift helped me a lot. It’s not easy. It’s not perfect. I still experience waves of anxiety day to day, and continually have to remind myself of what I can do and what’s important to me.Creating something like this series was also something I could do, and reaching out to others in a time like this is also helpful to me. My hope is that it would offer some help or guidance or inspiration.I want to thank the individuals who’ve taken part in this so far and who shared their time and thoughts: Bruce Perry, Manuela Mischke-Reeds, Sharon Salzberg, Mica Gonzalez, Peter A Levine, PhD, Cathy Malchiodi, Christine Drabek, Peter M.
