Coaching in a New Key: An Applied Existential Approach

Sat, Oct 18 - Sat, Dec 19 2026

Betty Cannon and Robyn Chauvin, BPI - 303 494 0393

This class offers a thorough 60-hour certification training in Applied Existential Coaching. At the request of students who took our first class in 2022, we have added much more experiential work and breakout practice so that you leave with a thorough grounding in basic principles and interventions. If you have found that you like working online and would like to add coaching to your repertoire, this may be the class for you. Unlike therapy, which is limited by state laws, coaching can be done across state lines or actually anywhere in the world. But it is important to know the difference and to have training in coaching if you are going to do this legally and ethically. The training we are offering is an in-depth approach to existential coaching. We will talk about principles and techniques, demonstrate them, show examples from videotapes, introduce experiential exercises, and ask you to practice the approach with other students. The workshop offers a thorough grounding in theory and fundamental interventions along with a taste of what existential relational and group coaching look like. Both coaches and therapists are welcome. Participants completing the training will receive a 60-hour Certificate of Study in Applied Existential Coaching.

Fri, Dec 5 - Sat, May 30 2026. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Level 1 Training – Denver, CO, 3037312881
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) is a body-oriented talk therapy that blends cognitive and emotional approaches, verbal dialogue, and physical interventions to directly address the implicit memories and neurobiological effects of trauma. By using bodily experience as a primary entry point in trauma therapy, rather than the events of the “story,” we attend to how the body is processing information and its interface with emotions and cognitive meaning making. Our Level 1 trauma training presents simple, body-oriented interventions for tracking, naming, and safely exploring trauma-related, somatic activation, creating new competencies and restoring a somatic sense of self. Students will learn effective and accessible interventions for identifying and working with limiting somatic patterns, disturbed cognitive and emotional processing, and the fragmented sense of self experienced by so many traumatized individuals. By the end of the training, students will be able to apply basic SP techniques with clients who are distressed or traumatized and adapt SP skills for more complex clinical situations. Level 1: SP for the Treatment of Trauma is offered in 4 formats to support learning and accessibility. All formats offer a minimum of 39 Continuing Education (CE) and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credits and deliver the same content, learning materials, and interactive lessons.
