Having practiced giving and receiving SER techniques during this time frame will help ensure that you are prepared to add information to this foundation, and provide maximum learning potential from attending SER2.

ADV1 Prerequisite: SomatoEmotional Release 2 (SER2); as well as being ready/able to do deep introspective work and be comfortable giving and receiving SomatoEmotional Release. While each person's experience is unique, typically a span of practice of several months after attending SER2 will enhance your ADV experience.  

We also recommend you have given 25 SER sessions, have a competent skillset of 10 step protocol and avenue of expression and have received ongoing CST/SER therapy prior to the class. Coming into the class being prepared and ready to address significant issues creates a more efficient therapeutic experience. Attending additional workshops such as SER Techniques: Mastering the Inner Physician (SERTIP), Clinical Application Programs (CASR), The Brain Speaks (TBS) or other courses in the CST curriculum helps you gain even more experience to bring into the ADV program. SER study groups are also recommended to broaden your experience.
