The Body Can Change the Score: Exploring Somatic Interventions for Trauma

CE Hours 3.00

About this live event

As humans, we store memories, experiences and emotions on a cellular level. Somatic approaches focus on body awareness and how to cultivate it in and around the body. Providing clients with interventions to address how trauma is stored and experienced in the body is essential. This training will present an overview of how trauma is experienced in the body. Specific somatic interventions such as resourcing, grounding, dual awareness, and sequencing will be presented. Learners will view application of somatic interventions by analyzing case studies and video demonstrations. Discover methods to help your clients release trauma and negative emotions from the body through a trauma-informed care lens.

Learning Objectives

• Identify 3-4 specific ways that trauma is experienced somatically in the body.
• Discover at least five somatic interventions for trauma and formulate interventions for clients.
• Describe two methods of fostering dual awareness in clients experiencing trauma-induced dissociation.
