This wonderful comment from a recent participant is what the course is really about:

“It’s not just adding techniques and not just ‘including the body’. But instead offering a strong theoretical 'coathanger' - grounded in Transactional Analysis - that helps practitioners integrate somatic work with clarity, confidence and clinical depth.”

We explore how embodied awareness supports attunement, regulation and relational repair. We think together about what’s happening in the nervous system, in the transferential field, and in our own embodied countertransference. And we practise ways of bringing this into real therapeutic conversations.

This weekend on the Somatic TA Certificate, we explored flow and the erotic, and played with creative ways of incorporating embodied exercises into practice.

The erotic as aliveness — the energy that emerges when we feel safe in our bodies.

Through breath, posture, movement, and relational awareness, we were reminded that change isn’t only something we talk about.

It’s something we experience.

There are moments in our work when it’s hard to describe or come to grips with what is going on and describe through words.

This somatic training is for therapists who sense that listening beyond words would support their work — particularly with anxiety, trauma, and stuckness.

Somatic TA is about tracking the body and attending to internal and inter-personal misalignments: bodily, emotionally and cognitively. It’s about presence, pacing, and co-regulation. Somatic TA works in conjunction with talking therapy and can be a powerful tool for change.

Current research highlights somatic psychotherapy as a powerful, evidence-supported complement to talking therapies, helping clients access and resolve experiences held beyond language—in the body itself.

Somatic work asks us to slow down, to attend to what’s alive in our bodies, and to trust that this awareness has something to tell us — about ourselves, our context and how we relate with clients.

For many of us, this kind of learning reconnects us with why we came into the work in the first place: presence, relationship, and curiosity — rather than technique or theory alone.

In this essay, I reflect on the disturbing sentiment that is evoked as a result of the scale and pace of recent technological advancements, as well as the questions that these raise in our understanding of human consciousness underpinning humanistic philosophy and current societal and political developments.

Through the lens of contemporary theories of consciousness, I considers the possibility of a consciousness that combines human and machine, and explore the potential correlations of these recent technological developments with the current global political landscape.

Have you thought about how much clinical information lives in the body — even before a word is spoken?

In many talking therapy trainings, we are taught to listen closely to narrative, meaning-making, and therapeutic relationship. Less attention is often given to the body as a primary source of communication.

Yet in moments of confusion, overwhelm, stuckness, the body is often leading the process:
• breath changes before insight arrives
• posture shifts before a boundary is stated
• tension or collapse appears before words can be found

Somatic psychotherapy invites us to work directly with these bodily processes, not as metaphors, but as living, present-moment experience.
Attending to the body can support regulation, deepen contact with unconscious material, and allow change to emerge without forcing narrative or cognition.

This isn’t about abandoning talking therapy — it’s about including the body as an active participant in the work.
