Introduction

Honoring the whole person lived experience

The Somatic Psychology program follows a scholar-practitioner pedagogy, while also emphasizing deep personal inquiry and bodily experience. We embrace a range of disciplines to enhance our work, including neuroscience, traumatology, Jungian psychology, and socio-cultural sensitivity.

Students in the Somatic Psychology program develop an integral approach to counseling psychology that includes evidence-based modalities and a broad understanding of individual and family systems. A range of disciplines are explored, including neuroscience, traumatology, Jungian psychology, and socio-cultural approaches. Clinical skills are emphasized, as well as key academic competencies in research and presentation.

CIIS affirms that successful practitioners must have knowledge of their own responses, reactions, and a sense of meaning as they work with others. Students are expected to enter deeply into their own bodily experience, exploring the capacity for empathy, feeling, and expression. The program also examines the familial, social, and cultural roots that affect each person.
