Andrew Harkin is a medical doctor (University College Dublin 1990) and psychotherapist. He has completed postgraduate training with the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute in Colorado, U.S. and went on to be a lead trainer with that organisation, teaching psychiatrists, psychologists and psychotherapists in the fields of trauma and attachment across the United Kingdom, Europe, North America and Australia.

Andrew has trained in other trauma related models such as EMDR, Brain-spotting and Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM). He is also a teacher in Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), having trained with the Centre for Mindfulness Research and Practice at the University of Bangor, North Wales. In 2013, Andrew and his family emigrated to Western Australia to accept a Senior Therapist position in a psychiatric day hospital. Andrew now divides his time between providing training across Australia in body based approaches to psychotherapy and a private practice in Bunbury WA.

Current research is showing that trauma is largely remembered non-verbally, leaving the body and nervous system primed for future threat. Through a combination of lecture material, experiential exercises and discussion, this workshop will introduce a body oriented approach to working with unresolved trauma. Andrew’s approach to training draws on Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and encompasses the most recent theoretical understanding regarding neuroscience and the impact of our experiences on our body, as well as providing a clear and pragmatic link between theory and practice.

• Review current neuroscience and practical applications inrelation to safe trauma work.

• Understand the role of the body in trauma treatment includingthe role of procedural learning and its relevance to traumatreatment.

• Apply simple somatic techniques to facilitate client’s self-regulation including directed mindfulness.

• Acquire increased knowledge and skills in assisting clients todevelop body based resources and enable them to experienceand stabilise embodiment.

• Understand the significance of the relational field in bodybased psychotherapy.

SASS is proud to offer this unique training opportunity in the interest of our mission to work towards achieving a healthier, safer community in Tasmania, free of sexual harm.
