Sensorimotor Psychotherapy with Pat Ogden, Ph.D by Pat Ogden
More information about Medical:
Medicine is the science and practice of establishing the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.
Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease,
typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, external splints and traction, medical devices, biologics, and ionizing radiation, amongst others.
Medicine has been around for thousands of years, during most of which it was an art (an area of skill and knowledge) frequently having connections to the religious and
philosophical beliefs of local culture. For example, a medicine man would apply herbs and say prayers for healing, or an ancient philosopher and physician would apply bloodletting according to the theories of humorism.
In recent centuries, since the advent of modern science, most medicine has become a combination of art and science (both basic and applied, under the umbrella of medical science).
While stitching technique for sutures is an art learned through practice, the knowledge of what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the tissues being stitched arises through science.

Discover How To Recalibrate Your Client’s Nervous System To Heal Trauma And Attachment Issues…Even If They Can’t Tolerate The Most Gradual Exposure or EMDR
When your clients experience trauma, the wake of intense emotions that gets left behind can be gut-wrenching for both you and your client to work through.
In many cases, you can read it in their body language before they even get through your door, and they feel the effects of that trauma in their bodies years later.
They might feel their palms sweating, their heart racing, or start looking for the exit without even realizing why…having these responses pop up unexpectedly any time a specific date on the calendar, a loud noise, or another person reminds them of their past.
The problem? Even if your clients are ready to process their story and their emotions in talk therapy, many times they keep feeling the effects of that trauma in their body after it’s been hardwired in the nervous system.
Plus, for some clients, simply thinking about processing the trauma with a therapist might be too intense for them to handle, making them shut down even after using relaxation and other coping techniques.
That’s why Dr. Pat Ogden, an originator in the field of somatic therapies, found early on in her career that often words alone weren’t enough (or caused too much distress) to produce the type of change her clients wanted desperately.
She stumbled on a powerful but underutilized resource while working at a hospital, leading groups in yoga and other forms of physical movement. Her colleagues initially doubted and even teased her for using the unconventional approach, but she started to find that her clients were getting better…and your clients can too.
