Experience the power of Hakomi with an Introductory Workshop

Hakomi is a body-centered (somatic) approach. The body is viewed as a “map of the psyche” – a door that can be opened to reveal the entire unconscious belief system of the individual. The body’s habitual patterns can become a powerful access route to deeply held core material.

Current neuroscience research has confirmed the basis for many foundational aspects of the Hakomi Method, including the effectiveness of mindfulness, loving presence, empathic attunement, limbic resonance, and memory reconsolidation.

We develop exquisite sensitivity and attunement, using empathic skills to read and contact subtle, unconscious cues. When integrated into the session with unique Hakomi techniques, it creates a rapid, experiential access route to unconscious core beliefs and implicit memories that invisibly shape our lives and behavior. Once conscious and directly experienced, these are available for memory re- consolidation and transformation, including the healing of attachment issues.This experiential process evokes a powerful “felt sense” for the client, allowing them to take ownership of core patterns as they emerge, and to integrate new options.

This workshop provides an immersive introduction to the Method, this includes lectures from the faculty, experiential exercises, demonstrations, discussion, group process sessions, and Supervision.

How can learning the Hakomi method help you in your practice?

Many young, recently-licensed psychotherapists and other practitioners such as coaches begin their practice without the experiential, inside-out, bottom-up learning necessary to become an embodied healing professional.

We support professionals to develop not only therapeutic skills, but also continually refine the most essential tool: their own state of somatic awareness and mindful relational presence with clients.

The complexity of social challenges–including collective trauma, empathy burnout, systemic pressures, and implicit bias among helping professionals–requires psychological healing that centers the embodiment of self, relationship, and community.

We provide intensive professional training to enhance therapeutic skills, refine somatic awareness, and uncover the internalized assumptions, body memories, and implicit beliefs that influence relationships with self and others– all critical skills that are in large part missing from conventional therapeutic programs.

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel” ~ Maya Angelou

Research shows that the benefit of psychotherapy is most determined by the quality of presence of the therapist and the quality of the created therapeutic relationship. In this 2-day workshop we will explore the foundational aspects of an authentic therapeutic presence.

Through lecture, discussion, explorations in mindfulness, breakout room practices, and Q & A, you will get to know the principles of Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy and foundational Hakomi skills as we explore our own way of being in therapy.

We will discover what enriches our therapeutic presence and which parts inside might come in the way of us meeting our clients with authentic heart qualities like true connection, calm, compassion, curiosity, creativity, spaciousness and more.

-How can we be anchored and fully engaged in moment-to-moment presence?
-Connecting to “being” before “doing”.
-Providing safety and connection: The “therapeutic bubble,” and providing co-regulation from the ventral vagal state.
-Loving presence & embodying qualities of our “Organic Self”
-Exploring our own conditioned parts that at times take over (“the helper,” “thefixer,” the “adviser,” the “caretaker,” “feeling not good enough”, “knowing what is best” and more.

We will explore at the intersections of Hakomi, Parts Work, Neuroscience and Interpersonal Neurobiology, and Applied Polyvagal Theory.

Looking for an attachment modality that works somatically?

Primary Attachment Therapy (P.A.T.) works in the immediate relationship between client and therapist, deliberately eliciting attachment states and bringing close, caring attention to moment-to-moment dynamics. We often work in mindfulness with eyes open and focus on attachment needs and indicators that arise in the transpiring present moment.

We work with what shows up in the “room,” within the client, and between the client and therapist — limiting exploration of historic, future, or outside the current context material. This supports brain repatterning and the development of new neural pathways.

Our trainings offer a supportive context for refining your own attachment responses and deepening your capacity for professional intimacy, which can enhance practitioner effectiveness in a range of helping contexts.
