Description

Full Range of CranioSacral Therapy Tools for Supporting Gentle Trauma Resolution

SomatoEmotional Release® is a manual therapy process developed by Dr. Upledger that expands on the core principles of CranioSacral Therapy to help rid the body of the residual effects of past trauma and negative emotional experiences. By gaining a deeper understanding of the self-healing paradigm at the core of Upledger CranioSacral Therapy, you’ll learn how to support the body to do what it knows how to do best: heal itself.

In SER1, we introduce an unbiased communication method based on curiosity, openness, and imagery that helps therapists to become neutral, non-judgmental facilitators in another person’s healing process. Therapists learn to support clients, as clients become more mindful about their own body-mind-spirit and start to access deep, self-healing resources.

As a student in SER1, you’ll embark on a journey of discovery and transformation that will not only impact your clients, but also enrich you personally. You will learn about the physiological and psycho-emotional mechanisms of disease, and will participate in hands-on and verbal exercises to facilitate the SomatoEmotional Release process. SER1 offers applications designed to enhance results using CST and other complementary therapies.
