Trauma no matter it’s origins, changes the body. Grace, aliveness, energy, emotional expression and cognitive flexibility became inhibited. The effect of trauma on the body however is not a life sentence. With the development of compassionate observation skills and sensitively applied somatic interventions, the body can be changed again. It’s inherent aliveness restored.
In the past decades therapists have been inundated with theory and research about the impact of trauma on normal human functioning. Translating this theory into practice allowing for the individuality of each client is not always clear and straightforward.
This workshop will teach participants ways to assess the suitability of a selection of somatic interventions for repairing or healing the impact of trauma in the body. Time will also be allocated to practise the application of some of these interventions to address ANS dysregulation and the Trauma Survival Strategies: Attach / Cry for help, Collapse / Submit and Please & Appease.
To enhance your learning and integration of the material the workshop will be experientially based so do come prepared to fully participate.
