Description

Embark on a transformative exploration of somatic therapies and trauma in this presentation, where the focus extends beyond conventional cognitive approaches. We will delve into a deeper understanding of the nervous system, unraveling the complexities of the trauma response, and moving beyond mere cognition into the profound healing wisdom of the body. Participants will be able to define the innate threat response cycle and its role in fostering resilience and facilitating a comprehensive healing process that recognizes the body as an integral player in the narrative.
In this journey, participants will learn about key concepts of interoception and proprioception as they explore the internal landscape of sensation and movement through experiential exercises. Building a profound relationship with the body becomes a cornerstone, unlocking the wisdom and intellect inherent in the body. The presentation serves as a roadmap for participants to venture into nuanced realms, cultivating a deeper understanding of the body’s language. Through gaining an understanding of the importance of attuning to the nervous system in therapy and supporting clients in redefining their relationship with the bodies, participants will be empowered to guide clients toward profound self-discovery and restoration, transcending the boundaries of traditional talk therapy.
