Kathy Kain
Touch Skills Training for Trauma Therapists
A Post-Graduate Somatic Experiencing Program
Los Angeles, California
2012
|
|
This post-graduate program is designed for graduates from the Somatic Experiencing training,
and is also open to those who have completed the Intermediate level. The training is available
to non-SE participants who have complementary training by consent of the instructor.
|
The primary focus is on developing tactile, body awareness and other touch-related skills in the
context of working toward the resolution of trauma. While the program presumes an openness to using touch,
the same skills are useful in settings that do not support actual physical contact with clients.

Kathy L. Kain has practiced and taught bodywork and trauma recovery skills for 30 years.
She teaches in Europe, Australia, Canada, and throughout the U.S., and maintains a private
practice in Albany, California.
Kathy's trainings cover various interwoven focus areas, including trauma recovery, somatic touch, self-regulation skills, and resilience.
These focus areas ultimately weave together into a unified somatic approach to touch, awareness,
and relationship. Her educational approach encourages students to engage an ongoing practice that
deepens their skills and expertise as they gradually embody the work and make it their own.
Kathy is a senior trainer in the Somatic Experiencing training program and is an adjunct
faculty member of the Santa Barbara Graduate Institute and Sonoma State University. She was a
senior trainer for 12 years in the Somatic Psychotherapy training program based in Sydney,
Australia, where she developed the Touch Skills Training for Psychotherapists and the Touching
Trauma programs that she now teaches in the United States. Kathy co-authored the book Ortho-Bionomy: A Practical Manual.
