Please state the degree which this course met the stated objectives Learning Objectives for Sensorimotor Psychotherapy for Trauma Themes – Online Module 1A:

1. Identify therapist’s implicit and explicit contact statements to client’s “narrative” and “present moment experience” during observation and clinical practice in ANS Modulation and Somatic Resourcing themed context.*

2. Apply SP skill of “contact” to “funnel toward a frame” in an ANS Modulation and Somatic Resourcing trauma-themed clinical session.*

3. Assess quality and effectiveness of therapist’s contact statements for attunement and “funneling to frame”.*

4. Analyze and connect client’s verbal and somatic “narrative” by explicitly naming and elucidating connection between “core organizers.”*

5. Apply SP principles of unity and nonviolence by using contact statements that are open to collaboration with and feedback from the client.*

6. Apply SP skill of “tracking” for client’s ANS arousal state and level of consciousness.*

7. Apply SP skill of “framing,” by identifying a “core organizer” activated by the client’s narrative and the arousal state of the client for collaborative exploration.*

8. Apply SP skill of “5-Step Cycle” to study the organization of experience in relational connection with the client and within the SP Principles.*

9. Assess application of the “5-Step Cycle” and the therapist’s ability to bring forward the “organization of experience”, stay in relational connection, identify procedural tendencies, and work within the SP principles.*

10. Apply SP skill of “stitching to the frame” to manage states of consciousness of client in clinical practice.*

11. Discern the client’s state of ANS dysregulation and predict helpful somatic resources.*

12. Demonstrate SP skill of “refining the frame” in the processing stage, (identified a potential somatic resource).*

13. Apply skills of physical demonstration, mirroring, and psychoeducation to help client fully develop a somatic resource and track the client’s physical experience of the resource by applying the “5-step cycle” to study the organization of experience.*

14. Create a physical experiment that includes movement to promote the client’s awareness of the effects of a resource on ANS arousal, core organizers, and procedural learning.*

15. Apply SP skills at the transformation stage of the process to identify and explicitly name the transformation of a client in clinical practice, apply techniques if there are blocks to transformation, and assess the somatic elements of transformation*

16. Apply SP Skill of “5-step Cycle” to help client deepen physiological awareness of a transformation, highlight changes in ANS arousal at a somatic level (linking core organizers explicitly as necessary), and integrate the transformation into in procedural tendency.*

17. Implement use of movement during the integration stage of the process in clinical practice to help client access a resource outside of therapeutic session to regulate ANS arousal.*

18. Assess application of SP skills as a therapist in clinical practice, particularly ability to work with clients somatically, with processing, and ANS dysregulation.*

19. Assess ability as a therapist in clinical practice to be in attunement with the client, and adapt application of skills based on client’s state, participation, and collaboration.*
