A question that comes up a lot for us & for Catriona, is what is the difference between the two modalities of therapy? How do you know which one is the better fit for you, and what do they both cover?
In today's video, Catriona goes through the differences and similarities between Somatic Experiencing and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, showing how they both work, especially when it comes to working with trauma and attachment.

This was great, for me affirms the need for the integration of these modalities and including IFS in terms of the parts work. I know for me a synthesis is needed.

Sounds again amazing to hear things I have not heard within many many years of therapy

Thank you for this clear explanation

Can anyone comment on their personal experience of whether which modality (sensorimotor psychotherapy or SE) is most effective for a therapist to use or for a client to experience the results of? In their own ways, I’m sure both modalities are fantastic from all that I’ve seen and read but it would be nice to survey therapists and clients on their experience with both or either models? Thank you for taking your time to respond🙏

hi, thanks for this video! i was curious if you know anything about NARM therapy. an dhow it's similar or different to senorimotor

[@kimberleesoule1237]

How effective would you say online sensorimotor psychotherapy can be?

[@pattyfluegel7816]

This is inaccurate. As an SEP I can say this. With SE we also know it is not the whole self having the experience and we carefully and intentionally keep rescourced stated online simultaneously to create that container for the trauma healing.
