Course overview
When overwhelming experiences continue to be lived out in the body, trauma survivors feel unsafe, on edge, ashamed, and shut down. Healing and transformation can only occur when they learn to restore an embodied sense of safety and reclaim a loving relationship with themselves. Through neuroscience and body-centered approaches, such as EMDR, yoga, Internal Family Systems, sensorimotor practices, theater work, and neurofeedback, this session explores how to help trauma survivors tap into a sense of openness, attunement, and embodied self-awareness. You'll discover: What neuroscience teaches about self-awareness and trauma New psychotherapeutic treatments that help integrate traumatic memories Body-centered approaches drawn from theater, music, yoga, and play for building¿attunement, restoring agency, and dealing with trauma Essential keys to help clients overcome a traumatic past and regain the capacity to be fully alive in the present
