Assistants

During the Somatic Experiencing (SE) professional training, the instructor will be supported by one or more senior assistants and a large team of assistants. The more experienced assistants provide supervision and individual sessions to participants throughout the entire training period.

To work as an assistant, you must be a practicing SEP (Somatic Experiencing Practitioner). Assistants offering supervision sessions must have assisted in at least two full training cycles, while those conducting personal sessions must have assisted in at least one. In this way, the assistant team collectively possesses a wealth of experience both as practitioners and in supporting the group process.

The role of the assistants is essential to the training. They support activation processes in the room, assist during practice exercises, provide guidance, and help maintain a secure container for participants during the training. Their presence is entirely dedicated to supporting the participants.

At BISE, we strive for a ratio of 3 participants to 1 assistant, which significantly contributes to the quality of our trainings. Your assistant team will be with you throughout the entire training—with a few exceptions. This is part of their commitment and dedication to the work.
