Consultation Dates

Please note that times may vary depending on the date due to daylight savings time and coordinating multiple countries. Be aware of the different dates and times for these group consultations!
The Friday dates are the same group consultation as found on the Asia and AU group consultation pages.

Note: Online consultations are not recorded to protect confidentiality and must be attended at the scheduled time.

Note: The schedule is subject to change with Abi's schedule. Should a schedule change be made after you have registered, you will be given the opportunity to change to another date or provided with a refund.

Registration closes seven days before the consult. We are unable to accept registrations after this time.

NOTE: If you use the New Year coupon code, be sure you only have ONE group consultation in your cart during checkout. Thank you!

Submitting cases and questions

You are welcome to submit a case or question you’d like SE perspective on. Please email those to info@abiblakeslee.com no later than three days before the consult.

Emails received after that deadline will not be addressed during the consult.

If you are presenting a case, please include the following information in your email:
1. What is your professional background?
2. What is the presenting problem and the basic client demographics and
3. What SE have you tried so far?

General SE questions are also welcomed and encouraged.

Abi will look over and consolidate the information in the emails into general themes and then address more specific questions. Your case may be chosen out of the many that are received. We highly encourage those who have attended 3 case consults to present at least one time. If you have attended 2 case consults in a row and have not been chosen to present, please let us know.

NOTE: Due to the high volume of interest, we will not be able to cover every case or question. However, Abi will choose several relevant cases in each consultation and answer many of the general themes that come up from the group input.

We look forward to your participation and presence.

After your purchase

You will receive the details for accessing the group consultation you are registered for via email at least 5 days before that specific consultation.

If you do not receive it, first check your spam/junk folder. If it is not there, please email info@abiblakeslee.com or complete the contact form on the website. 

Should you not receive the login details, it is your responsibility to let us know via email no later than one day before the consultation.

Due to the detail-oriented nature of managing an online class with so many individual participants, we are not able to assist with issues at the last moment. Additionally, handling your setup ahead of time helps us all to be calm and grounded for the group session. We appreciate your respecting this boundary.

Cancellation Policy

Due to the complexity of organizing multiple participants, you will not be able to cancel or transfer to another session once you have paid.

However, you are welcome to transfer your place to another colleague in the training that you know. This will be your responsibility to coordinate, and they can reimburse you.

If you arrange a transfer, please email the group coordinator at info [at] abiblakeslee [dot] com to with the date of the consultation affected and the name and email address of the individual who will be attending. The coordinator will then send the consultation details to the new attendee.

Signing session logs

Each group consultation counts as one credit hour of case consultation with an Institute faculty member towards your SEP certificate requirements. Following your group consultation, you will receive a follow-up email confirming your attendance. You will receive this email up to two weeks after the consultation.

This email can be submitted to SEI with your other log sheet requirements for completion of the Somatic Experiencing Practitioner criteria.

“As a bodyworker, I really appreciate how useful Abi’s input and feedback is. I come away from her consultations with new insights and clear, practical strategies to help me be more effective with my clients.”
— Lisa Gillispie, SEP, CST

What to expect

SE Consultation is a necessary and enriching aspect of your SE training.  It will allow time for you to ask personalized questions as well as help you integrate SE work into your specific practice. 

I am always willing to explore topics that would be most supportive of your learning.  For example, you may have general conceptual questions about the SE curriculum and how it appears in your practice, want to present an individual case, or discuss issues related to somatic resonance and somatic countertransference that would be useful to explore.

You will be asked to share a brief (and confidential) description of your client and his, her, or their background (around 5-10 minutes, depending on the complexity of their history and presentation). If you have been through the intermediate training, think about what “categories” of trauma they might fit into.

Also, let me know what SE interventions you have tried and what the outcome was. I may ask you to share what kinds of bodily sensations or other elements of SIBAM you have been tracking while working with them.

Some questions we might explore together:

  • What kinds of bodily sensations or other elements of SIBAM you have been tracking?

  • At baseline, where is your client’s nervous system?

  • Are they regulated, sympathetically charged, or shut down?

  • Do they exhibit fight, fight, and freeze in their bodies?

  • How do they describe their physiological state?

  • How do you perceive their physiological states in their bodies?

  • Have you been able to facilitate pendulation?

  • How have you used SE with them successfully?

  • Where and how do they continue to be dysregulated?

Goals

I would like to co-create goals with you.  For example, some goals that many SE students have are: creating a better clinical gestalt of SE, learning how to apply general SE concepts to specific cases, and the movement toward the “art” of the work that seamlessly begins to blend with your professional field.
