Somatic First-Aid
Somatic First-Aid
Claiming Each Other is a 60-hour Somatic First-Aid training, either in-person or online, which blends theory, practice and real life integration.
CEO is for you if…
…you find yourself struggling to relate well to people you care about who have different opinions, cultural values, lifestyles, sexual orientations, politics or ideas about the world.
…you want to learn to care for yourself better as you handle the inter-personal challenges of your life.
… you know that people around you are struggling mentally, emotionally, spiritually and/or physically, but never know what to do or say to be ‘helpful’.
How are the 60 hours broken down?
The training is given over 12 learning weeks (with one week off halfway) for an average of 5 hours of weekly learning and practice. Trainees will be engaged in the classroom with a variety of material from storytelling, theory, and practice.
Outside of the classroom, students will be asked to deepen their study of the week’s content and apply their learnings with somatic practices, observation exercises, reading/viewing/listening resources, and real-life relational integration. Finally, trainees will complete a self-case-study, documenting a real-life scenario they would like to work with.
Weekly breakdown of hours:
1x 2hr live session weekly (in person or online)
1x 2hr self study and practice with resources provided
1x 1 hr creation of written case study (direction provided)

CEO is Therapy Prevention
‘CEO is harm prevention... And harm prevention can certainly be therapy prevention! At the very least, CEO might just lessen the severity and duration of a therapeutic process by not compounding recent, more preventable hurts on top of older, unhealed wounds.’
— Lorie Solis, Founder of Claiming Each Other’s model of Somatic First-Aid
“CEO is a devotion practice of living and loving. There is no special skills required. Just a desire to give and receive love and care with more mutually affirming respect and authenticity. It is truly a medicine for the people.”
