Implicit Psychotherapy Winter 2025 - Spring 2026 I am honored to announce the official launch of my very own training program called Implicit Psychotherapy. I have been developing this training for decades. Implicit Psychotherapy is an innovative therapeutic approach to reinstate secure attachment, increase regulation and restore a person's sense of essential self. This training has a two-fold purpose. First, to train new therapists in the field, and second, to quickly train facilitators of Implicit Psychotherapy to run small four-day certification groups around the country and world. These three modules offer clinicians a physiological, embodied cognition, exercise-focused attachment repair, and neuroscience-based training that is short-term, low cost, brimming with cutting-edge theory, and chock full of ready-to-use easy implicit memory exercises to transform their practices. https://www.abiblakeslee.com/articles daily 0.75 2025-05-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585828dee6f2e1582c870421/feff5447-d994-4c36-899b-3e3a666d6221/Couples+Theapy+IP.jpg Articles, Podcasts, Videos - The Couples Therapy Couch Episode 212: Implicit Psychotherapy and Couples with Dr. Abi Blakeslee In this episode, Shane talks with Dr. Abi Blakeslee about implicit psychotherapy and couples.

There are 28 videos available (broken up into smaller 10-18 minute segments) covering all four days of the workshop. The slides presented live have been added to the videos, and the handouts are also available to follow along with. The breakout small group sessions were not recorded, but each is described for you to try on your own if you wish. About the Course Somatic trauma resolution practitioners are ideally trained to specialize in helping to prevent and heal birth trauma. Healing from these early imprints can be a game changer for healthy human development. In this workshop you will learn advanced somatic resolution skills for treating perinatal trauma. Treating birth trauma is more complex than shock trauma; it often brings up earlier and developmental traumas. It involves many people: the birthing parent, other parent or partner, the baby, and the birthing staff. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585828dee6f2e1582c870421/1524fcd2-cdb8-4883-85af-0f23242f2fa8/PPP+woman.jpg Articles, Podcasts, Videos - Restoring Your Body’s Compass - Overcoming People Pleasing and Perfectionism Masterclass Video from Avaiya University (2022) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585828dee6f2e1582c870421/4d4cd5fc-8fda-47d7-af07-79850332d296/ISC-Logo-big-300x300.png Articles, Podcasts, Videos - Interview with Abi Blakeslee A&T London, March 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585828dee6f2e1582c870421/b87deb9f-a5f5-42b2-ba8e-7705aa962e1c/A+More+Beautiful+Life+with+Kate+White.jpg Articles, Podcasts, Videos - A More Beautiful Life Podcast - Episode 48 with Kate White and Abi Blakeslee (July 2022) Listen on your favorite podcast app: Apple Podcasts Audible Patreon - help support Kate White Spotify Buzzsprout - this site has links to additional podcast apps. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585828dee6f2e1582c870421/b87deb9f-a5f5-42b2-ba8e-7705aa962e1c/A+More+Beautiful+Life+with+Kate+White.jpg Articles, Podcasts, Videos - Conversation About Preventing and Healing Birth Trauma - Episode 50 In this podcast, Abi Blakeslee and Kate White have a conversation about preventing and healing birth trauma in preparation for their upcoming training in Advanced Somatic Resolution Skills for Perinatal Trauma.

Traditional talk therapies tend to focus on the events and identifying how we think and feel about them, but they don't ask us where we feel the events. Trauma is not the event itself, it's the response to the event. I welcome Dr. Abi Blakeslee to my podcast to share her wisdom and insight around the biology of trauma and how that physical state of threat transforms into vitality through the practices of Somatic Experiencing.

This is traumatic for children in particular and for humans in general. Somatic experiencing is a type of therapy which helps people to become more embodied and move into acceptance of the emotions they are experiencing. Dr. Abi Blakeslee, SEP, CMT, MFT, Ph.D., integrates Somatic Experiencing with clinical research, the psychobiological principles of attachment, psychodynamic therapy, and somatic bodywork in her practice and teaching. She has conducted original research on the role of implicit memory in Somatic Experiencing with a committee that included Dr. Daniel Siegel. The Couples Therapist Couch is the podcast for Couples Therapists about the practice of couples therapy. The host, Shane Birkel, interviews an expert in the field of couples therapy each week.

However, not many people realize that trauma affects our physical bodies and health too. In this episode of the Think Peace Podcast, our host Colette Rausch sits down with psychologists Dr. Abi Blakeslee & Dr. Glyndie Nickerson to discuss trauma: What it is, how it affects us, what we can do about it, and the body-based trauma resolution approach known as Somatic Experiencing (SE). They discuss how interoception—the awareness of one’s own bodily sensations—can support trauma healing as it gives individuals access to their nonconscious memory and to signals between their brains and bodies that register whether they are safe or in danger.

Abi is a researcher as well as a therapist and faculty member, teaching SE all over the world. I am lucky to have her as my instructor in Somatic Experiencing training, and this conversation delves into some of my favorite topics, including nervous system regulation, simple strategies to begin practicing, orienting to pleasure, and the role of implicit memory in healing trauma and why this can be significant for recovering alcoholics. If you are interested in learning more about why bottom-up therapies are effective in healing trauma and overwhelm, I know you will enjoy the calm expertise Abi brings to the table in our conversation.

What I've discovered is that by integrating diverse approaches, we can often achieve breakthroughs that seemed out of reach before. Sometimes, you just need to help the client understand the technique better. But other times, no matter how hard you try, the technique may not be a great fit for that client. Fortunately, Somatic Psychology is a rich, complicated field with many embodiments that resonate with different bodies. It’s growing faster than it ever has, which means that there are more ways to help our diverse clients than there have ever been. That’s why I've spent months having in-depth conversations with some of the most innovative leaders in our field. There are so many people doing incredible work—the new and the brightest in the field should have an opportunity to share their experiences, the depths of their insights, and their work. To that end, I’ve compiled some of these conversations into a course that will inspire you to approach your sessions and your clients in new ways–and expand on how you show up for them. You’ll gain insights into the latest developments in somatic psychology and learn techniques that can dramatically impact your effectiveness as a therapist. You’ll be equipped to achieve better outcomes and greater satisfaction for both you and your clients. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585828dee6f2e1582c870421/66c153d6-6618-4909-97f3-03e277c756cd/Relational+Rupture+%26+Repair+Work.jpg Online Trainings - Always Available - Relational Rupture & Repair Work: A Somatic-Developmental Approach If you work with COUPLES, FAMILIES, in RELATIONAL psychodynamic work or ATTACHMENT oriented bodywork this somatic workshop is designed especially for YOU. The session will have a brief introduction of the core concepts of Relational Rupture and Repair Work, developed by SE faculty Dave Berger and Abi Blakeslee. The next part of the session will be an interactive demonstration where a conference participant will present a couple or dyad they are working with. They will role play one of the dyad and choose another person from the audience to role play the other. Abi and Dave will demonstrate the work and deconstruct interventions based on the model. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585828dee6f2e1582c870421/57104cc1-bf58-4344-a2f2-e9eeb4493540/somatic+therapy+for+trauma.png Online Trainings - Always Available - Somatic Therapy for Trauma Treatment Included in this Engaging & Innovative Course Bringing the Body into Therapy: Clinical Tools from Relationship Repair and Somatic Experiencing® with Abi Blakeslee, PhD, MFT, CMT, SEP Pulling from the latest developments in Somatic Experiencing® and neuroplasticity, this session will equip you with body-oriented interventions for treating early developmental trauma as well as helping clients improve nervous-system regulation and repair relationships. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585828dee6f2e1582c870421/be7eefd6-c6ba-44f4-b84b-86755ab70562/Codependency%2C+Narcissism+%26+Trauma+Bonding.png Online Trainings - Always Available - Codependency, Narcissism & Trauma Bonding CBT, DBT & EMDR Strategies to Free Clients from Toxic Relationships Without your help, clients can rarely navigate the road to healing from gaslighting, codependency, torn attachment, narcissistic abuse, and the grief toxic relationships cause.

But for many therapists, somatic therapy can seem baffling, requiring us to be able to track nearly unnoticeable shifts in posture, physiology, and micromovements — both in our clients' bodies and our own. Renowned trauma healer and trainer Abi Blakeslee has spent her career honing the key somatic skills that lead to deep relief and repair. Mentored by Peter Levine and trained in the field's most widely used body-based approaches (including Somatic Experiencing®, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Hakomi, Integral Somatic Psychology, and Polyvagal-Informed Therapy)... ...she's developed an integrative approach that combines the most effective somatic interventions into a framework that any therapist can learn and apply in practice. Now in this unique Master Class, you can join Abi in the therapy room and experience somatic healing in action with real trauma clients.
