She may be qualified to do certain aspects of SE after completing part of the curriculum. They may learn more advanced techniques in years 2 and 3, but maybe year 1 is sufficient for the basics. I'll be interested to hear what she says.
According to the SE website, this is what they will have learned after the first year (3 four-day workshops):
- Understand the physiological basis of trauma.
- Learn about containment, resourcing and empowerment.
- Study tracking skills, titration and establishing continuity through the felt sense.
- Practice establishing defensive orienting responses, completion and discharge.
- Explore coupling dynamics, the elements of internal experience (SIBAM), and integrating experiential polarities, in order to restore creative self-regulation.
- Be able to identify, normalize, and stabilize traumatic reactions.
- Attain skills to avoid pitfalls of re-traumatization and false memory.
- Learn to uncouple fear from immobility; re-establish and maintain healthy boundaries.
- Investigate the transformative qualities of trauma.
- Integrate trauma work into ongoing therapy.
- Acquire short-term solutions to acute and chronic symptoms.
Does any of this sound like what your T is doing with you? The second and third years list different skills and applications.
