Please state the degree which this course met the stated objectives Learning Objectives:

1. Identify therapist’s implicit and explicit contact statements to client’s “narrative” and “present moment experience” during observation and clinical practice for current issues/recent experience.*

2. Apply SP skill of “contact” to “funnel toward a frame” in a current issue clinical session.*

3. Assess quality and effectiveness of therapist’s contact statements for attunement and “funneling to frame”.*

4. Analyze and connect client’s verbal and somatic “narrative” by explicitly naming and elucidating connection between “core organizers.” *

5. Apply SP principles of unity and nonviolence by using contact statements that are open to collaboration with and feedback from the client.*

6. Apply SP skill of “tracking” for indicators client’s ANS arousal state and level of consciousness during a current issue themed session.*

7. Apply SP skill of tracking for somatically held procedural emotional defense strategies, evidence of attachment rupture and/or developmental wounding during a developmental themed session.*

8. Apply SP skill of tracking for indicators of attachment rupture and/or developmental wounding, or subsequent emotional dysregulation, limiting beliefs, missing or ineffective developmental movements, actions supportive of interaction with others and autonomy and independence in /developmental themed sessions.*

9. Apply SP skill of “framing,” by identifying a “core organizer” activated by the client’s narrative and the emotional or cognitive procedural tendencies of the client for collaborative exploration in developmental themes.*

10. Apply SP skill of “5-Step Cycle” to study the organization of experience in relational connection with the client and within the SP Principles/Foundations.*

11. Assess application of the “5-Step Cycle” and the therapist’s ability to bring forward the “organization of experience”, stay in relational connection, identify relationally based cognitive, emotional and somatic procedural tendencies, and work within the SP principles.*

12. Apply SP skill of “stitching to the frame” to manage states of consciousness of client in clinical practice.*

13. Demonstrate SP skill of “refining the frame” in the processing stage, (narrowing the focus of the processing stage, collaboratively demonstrates fidelity to the SP Foundations as well as demonstrates the therapist can guide selection of a small enough piece of work that supports transformation and integration).*

14. Use previously established resource(s) and track the client’s physical experience of the resource while applying the “5-step cycle” to study the organization of experience of a developmental issue.*

15. Create an SP experiment that evokes (in Accessing Stage), challenges procedural learning or offers a missing experience (in Processing Stage) or prompts transformation (at Transformation Stage), or anchors transformation (at Integration Stage) in a developmental issue practice session.*

16. Apply SP “child state” processing skills in a developmental themed session.*

17. Apply SP skills at the transformation stage of the process to identify and explicitly name the transformation of a client in clinical practice, apply SP techniques if there are blocks to transformation, and assess the somatic elements of transformation*

18. Apply SP Skill of “5-step Cycle” to help client deepen somatic awareness of a transformation, highlight changes in capacity to orient and defend at a somatic level (linking core organizers explicitly as necessary), and integrate the transformation into new belief, primary emotion, shifted somatic experience of self, new posture, gesture, stance, etc. options.*

19. Implement use of movement during the integration stage of the process in clinical practice to help client integrate transformation of belief, emotional processing and somatic experience in relation to the developmental issue.*

20. Discern and discuss factors that support and also impede working with various self-states in populations with complex trauma histories.*

21. Assess application of SP skills as a therapist in clinical practice, particularly ability to work with clients somatically, with a developmental issue.*

22. Assess ability as a therapist in clinical practice to be in attunement with the client, and adapt application of skills based on client’s state, participation, and collaboration.*
