Your client says, "It wasn't that bad." But then her shoulders collapse inward.
The jaw clenches ... breath disappears ... her hand rises toward her chest, then falls away.
The most important thing your client communicates may never be spoken.
We know trauma lives in the body long after the event is over. Movement is how it speaks — a language of collapse and bracing, of freeze and flinch, fluent long before your client ever opens their mouth.
The problem is, most therapists were never taught to read it.
Somatic therapies have become a go-to approach for body-based trauma healing — and movement tracking is the skill underneath all of it. Without it, you're working from words alone, translating only half of what your client is telling you.
Now you can learn this skill directly from one of the field's leading experts, completely free.
Join Manuela Mischke-Reeds, Senior Hakomi Trainer, Co-Founder of the Hakomi Institute of California, and author of Trauma-Sensitive Movement, for a free one-day experiential workshop where you'll discover how to:
- Track posture, breath, gestures, and inhibition and translate them into meaningful clinical information.
- Apply the four essential principles of trauma-sensitive movement work: safety, pacing, containment, and resourcing.
- Recognize key movement patterns and understand what they reveal about your client's nervous system and healing process.
- Use your own body as an instrument for co-regulation while maintaining clear professional boundaries and avoiding burnout.
You'll leave with practical tools and techniques you can begin in your very next session.
If you've ever noticed your clients' bodies communicating something important but weren't sure how to respond, this training will show you exactly what to look for and what to do next.
- 1 full day of live expert-led training (a $249.99 value)
- Interactive Q&A
- Printable copy of the presentation slides
- On-demand access to the recording for 3 days*
- An exclusive discount for Manuela’s full Somatic Certification
Before you can bring movement into your sessions, you need to know how to track what the body is doing while the story gets told — the held breath, the collapsed shoulder, the protective gesture that starts and stops. Here, you’ll learn how to:
- Recognize trauma in movement: in posture, breath, gesture, inhibition, and impulse.
- Spot the somatic opening — the exact moment a client's body signals it's ready to move deeper into the work.
- Bring the four principles — safety, pacing, containment, resourcing — into session to make somatic intervention usable.
- Use movement as assessment, so the body tells you what it needs before you decide how to respond.
- Ground the work in the cultural body, so it holds up across every client on your caseload.
- Use the ROAMING protocol to resource the body across the full spectrum of autonomic response — including the shutdown states most clinicians miss.
Find out how your body is doing clinical work in the room already and learn how to use it as a tool on purpose. Here, you’ll learn how to:
- Build a grounded, relationally attuned presence that clients feel before you say a word.
- Track relational rhythm through breath, pacing, and tone, so you catch shifts in the room as they happen.
- Differentiate the types of movement a client makes, so you know what each one signals clinically.
- Work with co-regulation as a two-way process you and the client build together.
- Regulate your own nervous system while staying present and responsive to what's in front of you.
- Recognize how your own embodied history and cultural positioning shape every moment of contact.
