Dr. Pat Ogden and the Founding of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
Dr. Pat Ogden, the founder of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, began exploring the connection between her clients' disconnection from their bodies, physical patterns, and psychological issues while working at a short-term psychiatric hospital. Recognizing the link between the body and psychological issues, she formed the foundations of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy by combining somatic therapy and psychotherapy. In 1981, she founded the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute (SPI).
