BASE™ (formerly Bodywork for Trauma Therapists), Asheville, NC



My experience as a participant in Dave Berger's BASE trainings has been thoroughly enjoyable and illuminating.  As a psychotherapist, I find my work even more focused and precise with the new understanding I have of the body.  And, the practice in using attuned touch during the training practice sessions has deepened my resonance as I sit with people, whether I'm using actual touch or not.  My interventions are more informed and I generally feel more competent and empowered in my work with people.  I am very grateful for the opportunity to have had this training!

Dave Berger's BASE™ training provided me with an array of new tools to "read bodies" and treat clients with complex trauma. His videos, graphics, one-to-one mentoring, clear demos and sense of humor made new learning easy and fun!  BASE is a MUST for practitioners wanting to increase their skills in hands-on somatic work.

In starting the Bodywork and Touch Training for Trauma Therapists with Dave Berger in 2009, I discovered a new way to experience my own nervous system while in a parallel process, preparing me to resonate and better discern while working with my clients and their nervous systems. The table work, hands-on training and the non-touch bodywork with Dave has given me practical, applied experience, allowing me to better know my clients’ nervous systems while assisting them with their self-regulation.
Dave is very good at translating the SE material, psychology and bodywork to move seamlessly between them.  

Dave is a very gifted teacher/mentor and I highly recommend his Bodywork and Touch Training for Trauma Therapists.
