There is a complex, shifting, neurobiological exchange between two human beings. The way we dance is determined by unconscious body and emotional memories of our early attachment experiences that have determined patterns of eye contact, proximity or distance. Our clients are driven by conflicting wishes and fears when their early experience includes neglect and abuse. Powerful emotional memories of threat, humiliation, hurt, and betrayal invade the therapeutic relationship if you wish to trust or tolerate disappointment. The therapist’s attempts to process what happened in the transference can make things worse.

Interpersonal neurobiology gives therapists a new way to change the post-traumatic dance without the need to process emotional failures. Maintaining a smooth dance rhythm with our clients requires knowing how to monitor and regulate our own nervous systems as well as theirs. Even with our most challenging clients, we can use insights from the field of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, a body-centered talking therapy for attachment and trauma, to facilitate moments of connection.

• Describe the concepts of the “dyadic dance” and “interpersonal neurobiological regulation”
• Summarize the effects of implicit memory and dysregulated autonomic arousal
• Identify somatic signs that client and/or therapist is becoming dysregulated
• Describe somatic interventions for therapist self-regulation and interactive regulation of the client’s nervous system
