Introduction to Hakomi:
A Mindfulness-Based Somatic Psychotherapy

Susan San Tara, LMFT, and Ashley Ross, LMFT

The Hakomi Method is a powerful psychotherapy that combines unique mindfulness-centered methods with somatic techniques, with a focus on present-time experiencing within an attuned relational field. In this introductory workshop, participants will be presented with a powerful way to identify and work with implicit communications, safely engage and re-negotiate clients' core-schemas and organizations, access their deeper core-affects, and guide and nourish them towards states of self-coherency, creating deeper and lasting change.

Educational Goals:

  1. Introduce key principles of mindfulness-centered, somatic psychotherapy.
  2. Discuss basic neuroscience underlying this methodology.
  3. Demonstrate interplay between relational attunement and mindfulness in psychotherapy.
  4. Learn basic skills of Tracking, Contact Statements, Inducing Mindfulness, and Immersion into Experience.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Participants will be able to explain the value of attunement in psychotherapy.
  2. Participants will develop skills in integrating Hakomi mindfulness with their clients.
  3. Participants will be able to describe at least 5 non-verbal experiences they can track in their clients.
  4. Participants will describe the basic structure and function of Contact Statements.
  5. Participants will be able to guide clients into their immersion into experiences.
