Sensorimotor Psychotherapy identifies two general kinds of interrelated psychological issues: developmental and traumatic. Developmental issues result from disturbed early attachment relationships that lead to limiting beliefs about oneself and the world. Post traumatic stress disorder results from overwhelming experience that remains unintegrated. Early attachment disturbances can lead to a wide variety of adult relational problems, especially when combined with unresolved trauma. Part II of the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy training program illustrates how traumatic, attachment, and developmental issues influence one another, and how to provide effective treatment given their inevitable intertwining.
