As an EMDR therapist who's interested in learning more, I'd like to see discussion comparing/contrasting SP with Somatic Experiencing.

Please!

Although I did skip a few bits of it, this chat is just a chat.I didn’t work out what Level 1 and Level 2 is or any of the important details.

So interesting, would love to learn more about Level 1 (not a clinical cnslr) as there are no certified therapists in this st@te

Does sensorimotor require any sort of sensory memory recall and/or sensory imagination? Whether visual, auditory, gustatory, tactile, olfactory, proprioception, kinesthetic, or emotional? I'm asking for multi-sensory aphants who have PTSD or cPTSD and may find huge road blocks to therapy including somatic based modalities like SE or EMDR or even IFS.

Thank you for asking, Andrea! Sensorimotor Psychotherapy does not require any sort of sensory memory recall or imagination. Whatever has happened in the client’s experience is reflected in the movement and posture of the body so we can work somatically without any content or recall. That is one of the reasons why Sensorimotor Psychotherapy can effectively address the effects of preverbal trauma, or trauma and relational issues that are not recorded in autobiographical memory. And, sensory perceptions, emotions, and thoughts often emerge spontaneously with a body-oriented approach.
