About the Hakomi Method
Hakomi Method of Experiential Psychotherapy
is an elegant, comprehensive and highly effective approach
to human change and development. Hakomi is an in-depth,
mindfulness-based psychotherapeutic modality. Its techniques
are effective throughout a wide range of therapeutic
applications such as individual, couples and family
therapy, and group work. It is backed by thousands
of hours of clinical applications and volumes of evidence
research into the neurological underpinnings of mindfulness
and core psychological belief systems.
For over 30 years Hakomi
has pioneered and integrated the use of mindfulness
in the psychodynamic process. Hakomi
utilizes the present moment as a rapid and experiential
access route to unconscious material. Guided by the
principles of Mindfulness and Non-violence, the Hakomi
Method is a gentle, respectful, compassionate and
thus powerful form of psychotherapy that uses the
wisdom of the body to pursue core evolution and deepen
therapy beyond insight and words. Hakomi follows
Frieda Fromm Reichmann’s advice “The patient needs
an experience, not an explanation.” Typical
therapeutic outcomes include lasting change in deeply
held emotional attitudes, beliefs and behavior.
Goals & Objectives
This training presents
the skills and principles of Hakomi Experiential Psychology,
and the unique intervention and treatment strategies
that follow from them. Participants will be trained
in the precise moment-to-moment elegance of working
with mindfulness in psychodynamic psychotherapy.
In addition, because Hakomi is dedicated to the
aliveness of both client and therapist, great emphasis
is placed both on the attachment based nature of
the therapeutic relationship, and on the ground of
being from which the therapist works.
Advanced Year Training
The second
year of the training will cover more refined techniques,
state of the art approaches to working with trauma,
additional maps for understanding client psychological
organization as well as supervised practice. In
addition to helping the practitioner develop big picture
and systems thinking, attention will be paid throughout
the training to gaining competence and confidence with
the basics of the method. Students will learn
to apply the Hakomi Method in a variety of theoretical
maps and clinical treatments while simultaneously deepening
their understanding of their own organization of experience.
In this training you will learn:
- To provide brief, in-depth psychotherapy using
the present moment and live experience
- How to design and utilize interventions to access
and transform core models of the self, others and
the world
- To apply the art of tracking non-verbal communication
from the unconscious
- To apply Mindfulness and experiential methodologies
to address safety, self regulation and relationship
skills
- To use the body to access unconscious material
- Approaches to working with content, movement,
gesture, voice and pace
- Non-invasive techniques to work directly with
resistance and psycho-emotional defenses without
opposing them
- Techniques to deepen towards core psychological
material
- To work with transference/countertransference
systems in respectful and experiential ways that
enhance curiosity and aliveness in the relationship
- To utilize the attachment relationship within
the therapeutic container
- Contemporary neuroscience models for Mindfulness
based interventions
- To distinguish developmental vs. traumatic injuries
- Mindful tools to renegotiate trauma states. And
proven techniques for somatic resourcing
- To help the client embody and process regressed
states towards resolution of long term issues and
behaviors
- To design interventions to access and transform
core models of the self, others and the world
- Sophisticated maps for understanding client psychological
organization
“Come sit with me
and let us remember
the beauty of your soul”
