For Behavioral Health Providers
Somatic Tapping is Our Core
Somatic Tapping classes serve as our core foundation of classes to help therapists learn how to use somatic tapping with clients. Tapping is an evidence-based modality that is highly effective at reducing the emotional “charge” people experience with negative cognitions, upsetting events, and trauma. Research has shown that tapping is highly effective, surpassing the effectiveness of most traditional types of talk therapy.
Holistic & Transpersonal
We believe mental health care is most effective when it honors the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. This holistic approach invites us to look beyond traditional mental health frameworks, embracing the interconnectedness of our physical, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions.
What Does “Holistic” Mean?
A holistic perspective sees mental health as inseparable from overall well-being. It recognizes the importance of lifestyle, relationships, environment, and inner experiences in shaping our mental and emotional states. Holistic care often incorporates practices like mindfulness, somatic awareness, and integrative therapies that engage the whole person in their healing journey.
What Does “Transpersonal” Mean?
Transpersonal approaches go even further, exploring experiences that transcend the individual self. This includes spiritual growth, expanded states of consciousness, and the search for meaning and purpose. By integrating transpersonal principles, we create space to address the deeper questions of existence and honor the unique spiritual journeys of individuals.
Why This Matters for Cultural Competency
Understanding holistic and transpersonal approaches enhances cultural competency by acknowledging diverse healing traditions and worldviews. It allows mental health practitioners to meet people where they are, respecting their cultural, spiritual, and personal beliefs. This inclusivity fosters trust, connection, and more effective care.
Continuing Education Classes for YOU
Through Somatic Tapping&, we aim to provide resources, tools, and insights to empower practitioners and individuals to explore these approaches. Continuing education classes are offered online in an asynchronous format where you can learn at your own pace at a time convenient for you or they are offered live on Zoom where you can ask questions and practice some of the approaches. These classes are for licensed professionals only. You can verify your license here.
Together, we can expand the conversation around mental health to include the profound depth of human experience.
Welcome to this journey of exploration and growth!
