Description

Our minds are inescapably connected to our bodies—and treating trauma separate from your clients’ psychophysical experiences can leave a vital aspect of their suffering unaddressed, negatively impacting outcomes.

Mounting evidence tells us that Somatic Psychotherapy may be the future of successfully healing the entire person in the treatment of trauma and stress disorders.

This groundbreaking recording is your go-to resource for incorporating somatic techniques into your daily clinical practice. Learn when and how to apply somatic psychotherapy approaches with tips and tools that will allow you to read the body in distress and assess your clients’ readiness to apply somatic techniques. Detailed guidance on using safe and highly-effective somatic skills will enable you to confidently work with trauma in the body and help your clients deal with deep emotional processes without overwhelming them.

Walk away from this workshop with:

  • Targeted somatic interventions for trauma, stress and PTSD
  • Steps to incorporate the body into your current therapeutic approach
  • Starting guidelines, safety concerns and keys to success

Discover how you can take trauma treatment to the next level with somatic tools and techniques to treat the whole client – body and mind!
