DST Somatic Dialogue: Mapping the Core of Somatic Intelligence – Summer 2025

DST Somatic Dialogue is one of the most powerful tools in the Dynamic Somatic Touch approach. This course is designed to teach you how to arrive at the somatic core of any trauma—not through endless conversation, but through skillful, attuned inquiry into the body. DST Dialogue helps you identify the dominant theme that is seeking resolution, allowing you to guide the session directly to the root of what needs to be felt, released, and reclaimed.

You’ll learn how to use embodied dialogue to deepen client connection, activate somatic memory, and illuminate the unconscious patterns that drive emotional pain. Through the principles of presence, resonance, and precision, you’ll discover how to let the body speak—so that healing can unfold from within.

This course is ideal for therapists, healers, and somatic practitioners who want to sharpen their capacity to track trauma at its source. It is also a key requirement for those completing the DST Certification pathway. Whether you’re new to DST or already familiar with our touch-based work, this course will expand your ability to listen to the body’s truth through language, sensation, and relational attunement.

In this course, you will:
• Learn how to use somatic dialogue to uncover core trauma themes
• Strengthen your ability to read the body’s subtle cues and emotional signals
• Develop confidence in guiding sessions with less talking, more precision
• Avoid common pitfalls that lead to circular conversations
• Practice theme-tracking skills that help clients feel seen, known, and safe
• Integrate somatic dialogue with hands-on or energetic work for deeper healing
