What is Somatic Experiencing® (SE)?

As health professionals, we may feel perplexed in helping clients find their way through the chaos and often-severe symptoms that occur in the aftermath of trauma. Therapists need practical, natural, resourceful solutions to help clients move through this demanding territory.

Somatic Experiencing® is a body-awareness approach to trauma being taught throughout the world. It is the result of over forty years of observation, research, and hands-on development by Dr. Levine. Based upon the realization that human beings have an innate ability to overcome the effects of trauma, Somatic Experiencing has touched the lives of many thousands. SE® restores self-regulation, and returns a sense of aliveness, relaxation and wholeness to traumatized individuals who have had these precious gifts taken away. Peter has applied his work to combat veterans, rape survivors, Holocaust survivors, auto accident and post surgical trauma, chronic pain sufferers, and even to infants after suffering traumatic births.

Why Become A Divorce Mediator?

There is a growing demand for qualified family mediators across the country. In some states, family courts require divorcing couples to go to mediation before entering the courtroom, and courts across the country are following suit. This trend has created great opportunities, including substantial income gains for people who want to become divorce mediators.

Do you have to be a lawyer to become a divorce mediator?

No. In fact, anyone can be a divorce mediator, as long as they successfully complete a certification program. Our experience shows that therapists make great mediators. Conflict Resolution Training has specifically designed a certified basic family mediation course for mental health professionals.

Why do mediation courses last so many days?

There is a lot of information to cover during the basic divorce mediation training, and most mediation training lasts anywhere from three to five days, with most courses running five days. We have studied course content of other mediation training programs, and found that we can give mental health professionals exactly what they need to become divorce mediators in four days. We strongly believe that a basic family mediation training course requires a minimum of four full-day classes.

What is the difference between family mediation and divorce mediation?

There is no difference. Family mediation and divorce mediation are used interchangeably. However, family mediation may encompass other issues outside of divorce such as parenting or custody and visitation issues, financial issues or other disputes among family members.

How can divorce mediation be incorporated into a new or existing practice?

Divorce mediation can be a professionally and financially rewarding addition to any new or existing therapy practice, and Conflict Resolution Training will show you how to to incorporate divorce mediation into your practice.
