Bringing the Body into Practice: Trainings for Therapists and Counsellors

Congratulations to the March 2024 Somatic Attachment Psychotherapy cohort who completed the training today. Some of the words that emerged as we did our closing circle were: boldness, humbled, connection, leaning in, finding the sweet, and love. Bravo, well done. And, thank you to our phenomenal facilitation team 🙏

There is another SAP cohort starting in March - 1 spot left!

This past fall, we completed our 10th Somatic Attachment Psychotherapy 2 year training cohort - here's what a few of the excellent therapists have to say about the training - just to say, Stacy and I couldn't be happier with the consistent glowing reviews of the SAP training.

Somatic Attachment Psychotherapy 2 Year Training: What Graduates are Saying - Bringing the Body into Practice Graduates of the March 2024 BBP Somatic Attachment Psychotherapy Training cohort tell all about the training....

Stacy and I took some time this week to reflect and review all that was 2025. What a year for BBP. First of all, we want to extend our gratitude to the amazing therapists that come our way to make the BBP community diverse and thriving with complexity and sophistication of practice application. We also want to say thanks to our phenomenal facilitation teams, bright lights in the world for certain.

I also wrote a blog capturing all that was in BBP 2025 - highlights and a year in review. Here's a link -https://bringingthebody.ca/news/somatic-attachment-psychotherapy-the-highlights-of-2025/

Can't wait to see what 2026 brings🩷

The Embodying the Heart retreat for therapists was fantastic - there was such a depth of sharing, process & witnessing - all fueled by incorporating creative practice into Somatic Attachment Psychotherapy practice. What a transformative weekend, with amazing therapists, AND we raised $5,000 for the BC SPCA - Wild ARC hospital.
