ADVANCED PRACTICES
Working with Motor Vehicle Incidents
with Lisa Mortimore, PhD
About the Offering
Motor vehicle incidents can deeply injure the body and psyche, often altering one’s way of being in the world and disrupt and divert the trajectory of one’s path. Years later the self, the psyche and body, are often still grappling with, and compensating for, the impact of the motor vehicle incident, and the sequelae of the incident and ensuing interactions and complications. As relational somatic therapists, we also need to make space in our clinical minds to deeply understand how motor vehicle incidents can deeply continue to be alive and yet silent in the bodyself, woven into the everyday limitations, pain and identity.
This Advanced Practices offering is an opportunity for advanced somatic therapists to deepen their understanding and nuance their skill at working with motor vehicle incidents. We will learn through sequential video demonstration of Lisa working with two different people over multiple sessions. From these video demonstrations, we will elicit gleanings from the work to deepen our conceptual understanding and sophisticate our skills. There will be some lecture but the majority of the learning will be through video demonstration, dialogue and debrief.
In order to apply, applicants require a graduate degree in a clinical mental health discipline and have completed at minimum 120 hours of a therapist training in somatic psychotherapy–prior learning assessments are necessary and entry will be determined by The Savoy Clinic, Ltd.
