Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
Purpose: To recall a “good moment” and identify the five-sense perceptions, thoughts, emotions,
movements, muscular changes, and inner body sensations that make up that moment.
Directions: Think of a good moment, or, if that feels too difficult, think of a neutral experience. The
moment can be as simple as eating dinner with a loved one, reading a good book, petting your dog
or cat, or taking a walk. Take your time to reexperience that moment. As you focus on the moment,
complete the three prompts below.
