Somatic Experiencing® Case Consultations for Beginning Level Students

With Brad Beldner, SEP, GCFT

Whether you're just starting out or already working with practice clients, consultations are a space to deepen your understanding of SE, clarify material from your first-year training, and support your growth as a practitioner.

You don’t need to be actively seeing clients to benefit—there’s still a lot we can explore together.

What We Can Work On Together

🔍 Deepening SE Understanding

  • Review or clarify any concepts from the Beginning Year (e.g., orientation, pendulation, titration, discharge, coupling dynamics)

  • Apply SE principles to your personal process and embodiment

  • Build confidence in your ability to track sensation and support nervous system regulation

  • Identify and work through areas where you feel stuck or unsure

👥 Practice Client Support

  • Discuss current practice cases and develop strategies to go deeper or stay within the client’s window of tolerance

  • Explore how to gently guide sessions when you’re not sure what to do next

  • Learn how to track client activation and use resourcing creatively

✋ Touch Skills & Bodywork Integration

  • If you're a bodyworker, I can show you how to skillfully incorporate SE into your hands-on practice

  • Learn strategies for adding supportive touch into SE sessions

  • Explore how clients can use self-touch to regulate and deepen their experience

🔄 Blending Modalities

  • I can show you how I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS) with SE—two approaches that blend beautifully

  • We can explore how SE complements your primary modality, whether it’s:

    • CBT, EMDR, or talk therapy

    • Yoga therapy or movement-based work

    • Craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, or energy work

    • Couples work or expressive arts

🧘‍♂️ Practitioner Support & Self-Regulation

  • Explore what personal material might be inhibiting your presence or confidence in sessions

  • Learn nervous system regulation tools for yourself and your clients

  • Strengthen your practitioner embodiment, boundaries, and pacing

My Background

I bring over 30 years of experience in somatic healing and trauma resolution. I’ve been a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner since 2005, an SE training assistant since 2006, and I am an approved session provider for all SE training levels.

My work integrates a wide range of somatic methods, including:

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)

  • Feldenkrais Method

  • Hakomi Method

  • Ortho-Bionomy

  • NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM)

  • NeuroAffective Touch

  • Integral Somatic Psychology (ISP) – Raja Selvam's method

  • Craniosacral and myofascial techniques

I also draw from my background in music, performance, martial arts, dance, and non-dual contemplative studies—all of which inform my embodied and creative approach.
