Relatedness and Presence in Somatic Therapy with Dr. Albert Wong

Transforming Trauma

Dr. Albert Wong is a leading clinician and educator in the field of somatics. From Dr. Wong's perspective, not all trauma is created equal, particularly complex trauma. It can be challenging to identify and address when the one who hurt you is the one you love. Although this predicament can be overwhelming, Dr. Wong provides a message of hope for individuals still in this hurting stage: people are not alone in this hurt, it doesn't last forever, and trauma does not have to define you.

Dr. Wong shares that most of his work derives from the spirit of deep embodied listening, valuing the body's wisdom, the notion of somatic experience, and tuning in to what is incomplete in the body. He is also committed to bringing together others in the psychological world so that the field is less fragmented.
