Train Alongside SE Faculty

These are official Somatic Experiencing International (SEI) professional training modules with Dr. Abi Blakeslee as senior faculty. They form part of the required curriculum for the SEP™ (Somatic Experiencing Practitioner) credential — with a chance to learn under a clinician who integrates attachment, psychophysiological, neuroscience, and clear Somatic Experiencing skills and principles into every session.


Be sure to also explore Dr. Abi's Group Case Consultations, Live Demo Workshops, and Online Trainings — all available on this site.

Registration for SE trainings is handled through the SEI training organization in each region. Use the "Learn More" buttons on each location card to register through the appropriate partner.

Training with Dr. Abi Blakeslee

Dr. Abi Blakeslee is a senior faculty member with Somatic Experiencing International — whose expertise integrates the somatic psychology, attachment repair, implicit memory, and neuroscience into a single coherent approach.

With a Ph.D. in Somatic Psychology and an M.A. in Counseling and Depth Psychology, Dr. Abi has had the gift of mentoring closely with Dr. Peter Levine for decades. Her teaching is known for warmth, precision, and the kind of clinical insight that only comes from years of sitting with the complexity of trauma to transformation.

Through inquiry and the shared wisdom from tens of thousands of students and mentees world wide, she has cultivated the ability to synthesize and teach universal healing principles that consistently deliver results.
