Individual Consultants take on a larger leadership and educational support role within the Somatic Experiencing™(SE) Professional Training Program. Individual case consultation is an opportunity for SE training students to expand their learning in a more personalized setting. Students may want to present and get feedback on cases they are struggling with, review SE concepts, or explore ideas they are generating from their integration of SE skills into their practice modality.
SE case consultation is not formal supervision as required in many psychological professions, but rather an opportunity for SE learners to benefit from the knowledge and expertise of other practitioners who have been using SE for an extended period of time within their own practices. We expect that those providing individual consultations have significant practice experience in integrating SE skills into their practice modality in working with the general public (rather than primarily with SE students). Providing personal sessions primarily to the SE student community is not considered sufficient practice experience to qualify as a provider of consultations.
We appreciate the service that our approved session and consult providers offer to our students. We understand that providers also benefit professionally and financially from offering these sessions. Please note, however, that being a session or consult provider should not be considered a career path. We cannot guarantee that providers will progress through the provider levels or maintain approval to provide credited sessions/consults after receiving initial approval. Please be sure you have read and understood our Individual Case Consult Guidelines.
