Sensorimotor Psychotherapy

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a gentle yet powerful body-based approach designed to treat trauma and attachment patterns. Unlike traditional talk therapy, this modality focuses on the wisdom of the body and the nervous system’s response to past experiences. At the Center for Effective Treatment in Boulder, CO, we use Sensorimotor techniques to help clients process unresolved trauma, regulate their physical responses, and find a sense of safety and ease within themselves.
