Form Instructions

Assistants are an important part of the Somatic Experiencing learning support team. As graduates of the SE Professional Training, they provide support, containment, and feedback for students during practice sessions in class; help out with organizational matters such as setting up breakout rooms, monitoring times, and supporting the training coordinator; and fulfill faculty support tasks as requested by faculty instructors.

Assistants must apply and be pre-approved by the Somatic Experiencing™ International(SEI) prior to assisting at each year of the training. Individual faculty instructors are responsible for selecting their own assisting teams from the pool of approved assistants. Assistants should contact the faculty instructor(s) they wish to assist with to express their interest in assisting at a particular training. Faculty instructors make the final decisions about who assists at the trainings they lead; neither the Institute staff nor the local coordinator/organizers are responsible for assistant selection. Please be sure you have read and understood our Assistant Guidelines here.

Completing this application will take about 20 minutes. Please note that you will be required to upload your curriculum vitae(cv) or resume and a faculty recommendation letter during this application process. In addition to this application, you are also required to sign the Assistant Informed Consent & Release Agreement. You will be given a link to the agreement in the application. Please make sure all required documents are included. Incomplete applications will cause a delay in processing. Once your application has been submitted you will receive a confirmation email. If you do not receive this confirmation email, please contact the Assisting Team.

Please allow up to 4 weeks for your application to be processed. Once approved, you will receive a letter via email authorizing you to assist at the level of your application and approval. This letter may be presented to your local organizer, lead assistant or faculty member as proof of your authorization.
