Description

Arielle Schwartz will explore the future of trauma treatment, discussing how neuroscience, embodiment, and compassionate presence are transforming clinical practice. With her unique expertise, she’ll share insights on integrating neurobiological principles, embodied healing, and self-compassion to support trauma survivors in deep and lasting ways.  In this workshop she'll discuss:

  • How the neurobiology of trauma enables clinicians to use body-based interventions that help regulate the nervous system and restore safety 
  • Healing involves the nervous system, not just thoughts—somatic tools are essential 
  • Compassion drives recovery, through both therapist attunement and client self-kindness
