Personal Sessions and Consults are not required to participate in the training.  They are recommended to support the curriculum and deepen the learning.
 

Personal Sessions and Consults are required if students wish to certify as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP).
 

The chart outlining the timeline for completion of the personal sessions and consults is a guideline.  It is recommended to complete the sessions and consults in the timeline on the chart but it is not required.  Students have 2 years after the completion of Advanced II to complete their sessions and submit their log sheet.
 

Students must work with a practitioner who is approved to provide sessions or consults at the level of training that the student is currently taking.  For example, by the first day of Intermediate I training, even if students haven’t completed the Beginning year personal sessions or consults they must work with a practitioner who is approved at the Intermediate level.
 

Approval status for providers is listed on this website in the “training ” tab under “instructor and assistants”.
