Description

Trauma recovery is as much about healing the body as it is the mind.

Yet, so often, the focus of healing involves retelling the story of the past without addressing the physiological imbalances that trauma leaves in its wake.

While you might recognize the value of bringing the body into trauma treatment, you might not know how to do this effectively.

Watch Arielle Schwartz, PhD, CCTP-II, E-RYT, international leading voice in the healing of PTSD and complex trauma, as she bridges the path of healing between the psyche and the body.

Grounded within the principles of polyvagal theory, affective neuroscience, and trauma-informed care, Dr. Schwartz will guide you through research-based somatic tools, yoga-based breath, movement, and awareness practices to reduce the burdens of trauma, anxiety, obsessive thinking, and feelings of hopelessness from your client’s body and mind!

As your clients feel empowered by these changes, you can more successfully help them to heal from the pain of the past.

Watch and learn:

  • Co-regulation strategies to resource client’s nervous system
  • Vagus nerve stimulation techniques to immediately regulate client’s nervous system
  • Mind-body strategies to safely prepare for deeper trauma recovery work
  • Bilateral stimulation techniques to connect the brain and body
  • Personalized embodiment and yoga-based practices to build resilience
  • Client’s internal systems to identify and overcome treatment barriers
  • And so much more!
