An approach to working somatically with trauma
Trauma is stored in the body and it is understandable that in order to process the ongoing effects of trauma, an integrated body/brain approach is necessary. It can be difficult to make sense of trauma for clients and help them shift through the stages of trauma-focused therapy.
In this experiential workshop, participants will develop their understanding of trauma and enhance how they work with clients who have experienced trauma. The practical and interactive workshop offers a range of awareness and sensory modulation tools to aid in the development of introspective intelligence, resilience, emotional processing skills and safe grounding when working with people who have experienced trauma.
Participants will take home skills and resources they can immediately start to use, and the ability to co-construct a
coping kete with clients.
