As a therapy practice owner, supporting your therapists in staying healthy, and productive and providing the best patient outcomes are your primary concerns.

  • Close to 50% of therapists are reporting signs of burnout

  • Loneliness and isolation for therapists are on the rise due to the rise in telehealth during and post-pandemic

  • Emotional fatigue is mounting

These are all signs of nervous system dysregulation which:

  • slows client progress

  • decreases therapists’ physical wellness

  • decreases your therapist’s productivity

  • decreases your business’s bottom line

Based on the science of neuroplasticity and the tools of Somatic Experiencing, Somatics for Therapists workshops provide experiences for therapists to learn effective tools to support themselves and their clients in finding greater nervous system regulation and continued self-care.

There are two tracks to take:

Fun and valuable wellness workshop experiences for therapists to practice regulation and find specific tools that work for their own bodies so that they can best take care of their nervous systems before, during, and after their workday

Workshops that provide deeper nervous system education and tools for therapists to incorporate their client’s body experiences into the healing process of therapy providing better clinical outcomes.

Testimonials

As a devoted psychotherapist for decades, I am committed to psychotherapy as a primary agent of change. Yet some clients really benefit from an approach directly focused on working with their nervous systems and awareness of physical activation. I referred a lovely, hard-working, committed client to Dorie because she felt her progress was stuck and her bodily tensions were too chronic.  Working with Dorie for a few months released some longtime activation and stress in her system and helped my client notice her nervous system activation in new ways, gave her new skills to work with both anxiety and numbing, and moved her psychotherapy work forward, too. 

I highly recommend Dorie for working with any type of somatic issue and learning about and healing nervous system activation!
