Regarding training

Description

The Dual Specialization in Integrative Somato-Sensory Psychotherapy stems from a solid international partnership between Mentara (Portugal) and the Besai Center (Barcelona), built upon a profound affinity of vision, clinical practice, and human values.

This excellent training program integrates contemporary integrative psychotherapy with a deep somatic approach, centered on the body, experience, the therapeutic relationship, and conscious presence.
