Our Trainers and the Team

Internationally renowned trainers have joined our team to launch the Somatic Experiencing® journey in Hungary.

Each module is conducted by a member of Somatic Experiencing® International's training faculty. We work with a different instructor every year, as each of them enriches the curriculum with their own unique, special character and experience, helping to further enhance the learning experience.
The instructor is supported by a senior assistant and a large team of assistants, which includes several assistants of Hungarian origin or who speak Hungarian.

Assistant Team

To become an assistant, you must first be a practicing SEP (Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner). Assistants providing supervisory consultation must have assisted in at least two full training cycles, while those offering individual consultations must have completed one. Collectively, the assistant team has extensive experience both as practitioners and in supporting group processes.

In the Hungarian training, as in the London training, there is a 3-to-1 ratio of participants to assistants, and we believe this greatly contributes to the high quality of our training.

 

The assistant team will be with you throughout the entire 3-year training - with occasional exceptions. This is their commitment to the training.
