DVD Screening: Resolving Trauma in Psychotherapy with Peter Levine, PhD
See excerpts of new DVD, Resolving Trauma in Psychotherapy: A Somatic Approach featuring Peter Levine, PhD. New MCPA member Victor Yalom will screen new DVD produced by Psychotherapy.net, which shows a course of body-oriented trauma therapy with an Iraq Veteran diagnosed with severe PTSD.
Working with Ray’s presenting symptoms over the course of five sessions, Levine introduces a number of essential trauma resolution techniques that markedly improve Ray’s Tourette-like convulsions, as well as his overall pain and emotional outlook. Levine developed Somatic Experiencing® based on the premise that trauma overwhelms the nervous system and that it needs to be addressed somatically before emotional processing is possible. Thorough commentary by Levine, as well as an extensive interview, helps to elucidate the subtleties of his methods. You will walk away from this video with a sound understanding of this approach to trauma work. This method can be integrated with and add richness to a number of therapeutic modalities and can be used to treat all manner of trauma – from car accidents, surgeries, child abuse, experiences of violence, and so on.
There will be a discussion following the viewing.
