About Your Faculty
Training with Dr. Abi Blakeslee
Dr. Abi Blakeslee is a senior faculty member with SE International — whose expertise integrates the somatic psychology, attachment repair, implicit memory, and neuroscience into a single coherent approach.
With a Ph.D. in Somatic Psychology and an M.A. in Counseling and Depth Psychology, Dr. Abi has had the gift of mentoring closely with Dr. Peter Levine for decades. Her teaching is known for warmth, precision, and the kind of clinical insight that only comes from years of sitting with the complexity of trauma to transformation.
Through inquiry and the shared wisdom from tens of thousands of students and mentees world wide, she has cultivated the ability to synthesize and teach universal healing principles that consistently deliver results.
