( HS Lyons 150453 2025) Bridging Somatic & Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Trauma Healing Integrating Mind & Body for Lasti

Course overview

Trauma healing is most effective when we integrate both the body and mind yet most therapeutic approaches focus on one or the other. In this workshop, youll explore the powerful intersection of Somatic Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to create a holistic and embodied approach to trauma recovery, one that provides cognitive tools to reframe thought patterns and emotional responses as well as tools to access the bodys wisdom to release stored trauma and regulate the nervous system. Through practical exercises, experiential learning, and clinical insights, youll discover: ¿ How trauma impacts both cognition and the nervous system How to pair body-based awareness with cognitive restructuring for deeper transformation¿ Guided exercises that combine movement, breathwork, and thought reframing Techniques to move from dysregulation (fight/flight/freeze) into resilience How to identify and shift the automatic thought-body patterns that reinforce trauma responses.
