BRIDGING KNOWLEDGE

Into Practice

Bridge the Gap Between Learning and Doing

Somatic therapy is leading the trauma field. Now learn to assess from the body and turn insight into clear treatment direction.

You’ve learned the model… now you need to actually use it in the room

  • Move from understanding FSPM to applying it in real sessions

  • Practice with real cases, not just theory or demos

  • Get feedback on what you’re actually doing, not what you think you’re doing

Finally move beyond the pathologizing lens without losing clinical clarity

  • Practice a clear, documentable somatic assessment framework

  • Replace pathology with nervous-system-based understanding

  • Maintain clinical rigor while working from a strength-based lens

Stop second-guessing your intuition. Track what’s actually happening in the body

  • Develop moment-to-moment nervous system tracking skills

  • Learn to identify what is emerging before it’s verbalized

  • Turn felt sense into clear, actionable clinical decisions

Apply the Model
with clarity, precision, and trust

A small group supervision space where the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model comes alive in practice. Learn to track the nervous system, trust the felt sense, and work with survival strategies as embodied intelligence. Grounded, relational, and designed to support real clinical work.

Schedule

First Thursday of each month, 12 noon – 2:00pm ET September 3 - May 6, 2026

Course Overview

This advanced supervision group is a monthly live-online, small-group clinical practice lab for integrating the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model™ (FSPM) into real therapeutic work. At the center of the 9-month program is Embodied Assessment and Treatment Tool (EATT), a somatic assessment method grounded in Focusing and neuroceptive awareness. It trains clinicians to assess from within experience, where nervous system, felt sense, and relational field are primary sources of clinical knowing. Assessment here is not pathologizing. It is embodied, emergent, and co-regulated.

What Makes This Work Unique

The EATT offers a paradigm shift in how we understand mental health. It guides you in formulating  a somatic assessment that can be used with any kind of therapy that you are already applying. Documented by moment to moment tracking, it works with:

​

  • Autonomic nervous system tracking (polyvagal-informed states)

  • Focusing-based interoceptive awareness (felt sense)

  • Real-time relational attunement

 

This allows you to:

​

  • Sense what state the nervous system is organizing from

  • Identify survival strategies as embodied intelligence

  • Track what is emerging but not yet verbalized

  • Support regulation through moment-to-moment bodily awareness

 

You are learning to think with the body, not about it.

Program Format

• 9-month live Zoom cohort • Monthly 2-hour sessions (12–2 p.m. ET) • Sept 3, Oct 1, Nov 5, Dec 3, Jan 7, Feb 4, Mar 4, Apr 1, May 6 • Biweekly Focusing Partnerships (students are responsible for making their own partnerships within the cohort) • Self-paced materials and clinical demonstrations

Each monthly session includes a first hour of embodied practice, group connection, and a live demo with a volunteer. 

In the second half, a participant presents a case using the EATT, and together we see how the session went by:

​

  • Mapping autonomic patterns through tracking neuroception

  • assessing the client’s capacity for  interoceptive awareness using the Experiencing Scale

  • Explore and document their survival strategies and relational dynamics

  • Sense emerging movement toward regulation

  • Generate and document interventions directly from embodied knowing

 

Graduates will receive a Certificate of Completion upon finishing this course. CEU's are not available at this time.

Clinical Applications

The EATT is used across:

  • Trauma and complex trauma

  • Addiction and compulsive patterns

  • Dissociation and shutdown

  • Chronic pain and somatic distress

  • Neurodiversity

  • Relationship and attachment issues

  • Sexual trauma and gender-based violence

Who Should Attend

This course is open to therapists, educators, bodyworkers, and coaches who have successfully completed Part 1: Felt Sense Polyvagal Model - A Certificate for Treating Trauma and Addiction or be pre-approved by Jan Winhall.

Be Part of the Community that Extends Beyond the Course

Participants become part of a living network of professionals, seekers, and somatic practitioners who are reshaping how trauma and addiction are understood and treated. The FSPM Institute fosters connection, mentorship, practice partnerships, and shared learning long after the training ends.

"Learning and working from Jan’s Felt Sense Polyvagal Model has shifted and added depth to my work that has benefited me and my clients significantly over the years. I appreciate the opportunity to share and present my own clients, to feel supported and receive feedback in live sessions. Further, it’s been so fascinating to hear the process and work of others from such diverse settings."

Lorri Pacheco, MSW, FSPM Facilitator
