(HS Blakeslee 096191 2022) Bringing the Body into Therapy: Clinical Tools from Relationship Repair and Somatic Experiencing
Tracking # 20-978062
Course overview
When it comes to tapping into clients' natural resources for healing from trauma, the body is an invaluable tool. Not only does it store information about our early attachment experiences, but it shows the signs of epigenetic and transgenerational influences. The body reveals how trauma negatively impacts relationships with friends, partners, colleagues, and loved ones. But research and experience show that trauma behaviors aren't set in stone. Pulling from the latest developments in Somatic Experiencing and neuroplasticity, this recording will teach you a dynamic toolkit of body-oriented approaches for treating early developmental trauma as well as helping clients improve nervous-system regulation and repair relationships. You'll explore: The neurophysiological and embodied underpinnings of healthy relationships How to create a vibrant experience of resilience and wholeness in your work How implicit memory shapes our physiological and psychological responses to trauma and recovery Three skills to work with the autonomic nervous system to rebound from trauma and overwhelm
