Description

In this workshop you will learn that treating trauma is not about thinking differently about what happens but about creating new opportunities for learning where traumatic memories are primarily encoded. The emerging science of Interoception, or conscious awareness of bodily sensation, and its relationship to survival physiology, emotion, and embodied cognition will help guide you to new breakthroughs with your clients. You will observe an in person live session demonstration with Dr. Abi Blakeslee, renowned international expert in somatic psychology and implicit memory. Dr. Blakeslee will simultaneously illuminate the moment-to-moment processing of trauma with a volunteer while deconstructing concepts and clinical skills. Watch clinical creativity and mastery unfold and learn how deep transformation can be achieved through skills-based practice.
