DST is a seamless integration of

Somatic Psychotherapy, Focusing, Ortho-Bionomy®, Psychophysiology, Biodynamic Psychology, Mindfulness and osteopathic principles.

DST is a somatic discipline that is neither bodywork nor psychotherapy but draws from the best of those traditions to create an effective, sane and safe way to support people with various physical and psychological challenges. DST is a highly effective intervention for resolving longstanding physical and emotional issues that are resistant to traditional therapeutic approaches, such as nervous system dysregulation, chronic pain, and body-based syndromes. Many psychotherapists refer their clients to DST as an adjunct to therapy to get a somatic approach for their life issues. DST is the only somatic training course of its kind and comes from decades of clinical work and research. The course curriculum you will take is the product several years of development by founders Rouel Cazanjian and Sergio Ocampo.

Trauma Recovery

With facilitative dialog and touch that honors the preferences of the body, DST lands in a safe proximity to trauma and sets a course for steady progress towards resolution at a pace set by the client. A safe space with deepening into inner resources that honor the boundaries and innate impulses of the client naturally facilitates trauma resolution. Rather than the therapist being the antidote to trauma by being a perfect presence, the DST therapist establishes a safe space to help clients feel their own resources with a trusted presence they can count on.

Chronic Pain And Other Health Conditions, Emotional Challenges

Rather than treating physical conditions with manual therapy or doing traditional psychotherapy for emotional challenges, DST supports the underlying health of the individual with listening touch that hears the body and answers back with subtle prompts to help regulate the nervous system while offering verbal support, if necessary, to help clients access their somatic wisdom. Building up a bank of positive physical and psychological moments while relaxing deeper into the wellspring of health helps resolve physical syndromes and supports mind-body resolution.

Personal Growth

In DST, we understand that personal growth and forward movement in life are the ultimate stage of any successful therapy, and we are ever ready to facilitate that process. In the identification and deepening of the major themes that mark stuck life patterns, supported with dialed-in touch, unconsciously held tensions in the body release as the DST process facilitates the deeper inner connection with self. This deeper connection and access to innate somatic wisdom naturally refocuses one’s life in a forward direction. Our verbal skills help to mark the process and give the process a resting place that won’t slip backwards. DST provides as much safety as possible for personal growth through Totally Present Touch.
