In this webinar, Dr. Ogden will elucidate the challenges, risks, and rewards of working somatically with dissociative clients.

We will explore the theory of structural dissociation, emphasizing how the body reflects and sustains 'daily life' parts of the self as well as those stuck in 'trauma time,' and how the body can be an asset in helping these parts communicate and cooperate.

Mindful mapping of internal parts will be introduced along with worksheets to be used with clients that are designed to support mapping the physical tendencies of dissociative parts, encourage mindful awareness of them, and identify their resources.

Participants will walk away with a new perspective on how simple techniques that target the body can begin to open the door to change even for the most dissociative clients.
