RECALIBRATE: Developing the Somatic Self
Recalibrate: Developing the Somatic Self is an online, small-group study series facilitated by Katherine Eastlake, LPC, RPT-S.
Course dates: Wednesdays, January 17 - March 6, 2024
9:30am-11am Pacific Time
12 NBCC Credit Hours available
The group will meet via Zoom once per week for 90 minutes over eight weeks. Experiential learning will be the main teaching modality with didactic components interwoven. The content is directly aimed at teaching clinicians to utilize their own bodies as clinical instruments. Therefore, the course content will build over the eight sessions to explore human stress response, somatic countertransference, co-regulation of the nervous system, and application to therapeutic intervention and case conceptualization.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will identify their own patterns of nervous system activation in response to stressors.
- Participants will practice regulation skills to address their own activation.
- Participants will be able to define somatic countertransference in their own words.
- Participants will discuss varying case conceptualizations as they apply somatic awareness to understanding their clients.
- Participants will practice dual awareness, noting somatic activation in self and other simultaneously, in order to build capacity for their clinical work.
- Participants will prepare and practice therapeutic interventions using their own somatic countertransference in order to deepen clinical work.
- Participants will be invited to use experiential learning in a group format in order to practice noticing nervous system activation and applying it in the moment with other people.
- Participants will apply this framework of somatic awareness to specific clients while considering new interventions and conceptualizations.
- Participants will formulate their own lens of somatic application, based upon the processes of Interpersonal Neurobiology.
