Description
The intersection of childhood trauma, neurodivergence and truncated pediatric neurodevelopment presents complexities and challenges around interoception and grounding.
In this experiential session, Linda Thai, MSW, will guide participants through a practical, culturally attuned exploration of how the body and brain respond to traumatic stress, and how clinicians can help clients access states of safety, regulation, and connection, particularly during the early stages of the therapeutic process.
Drawing from polyvagal theory, somatic therapies, and trauma-responsive mindfulness, Linda will guide you through cutting-edge approaches to trauma treatment, blending neuroscience and sensory processing, to share interventions that can be immediately applied in clinical practice.
