Somatic Therapy: Body-Based Approach to Trauma Recovery

Dr. Bessel Van der Kolk, a lead researcher in the field of trauma recovery is quoted saying, “The single most important issue for traumatized people is to find a sense of safety in their own bodies.” Single most important. More than the content of the memory. More than a cognitive reframe. More than emotional regulation.

The body must be central in the trauma recovery process, and we would love to come alongside your organization and provide practical education on how to support clients in finding refuge in their bodies.

Understanding the profound impact of trauma specifically on the nervous system, this program is designed to equip individuals, therapists, and caregivers with powerful tools to facilitate healing and resilience.

In our comprehensive sessions, we delve into the intricate relationship between trauma and the nervous system, exploring evidence-based practices rooted in neuroscience. Participants will gain a deep understanding of how trauma disrupts the autonomic nervous system, leading to dysregulation, and how intentional regulation techniques can be pivotal in fostering recovery. Our expert-led training emphasizes practical applications, guiding attendees through exercises that promote self-awareness, mindfulness, and regulation skills to empower themselves and/or those they care for on their healing journeys.

This training can be curated to your specific audience (i.e. kids from hard places, domestic violence survivors, veterans, etc.), so please reach out if you are interested in learning more about the profound potential within nervous system regulation and its ability to unlock paths towards resilience, self-compassion, and a renewed sense of well-being.
