Somatic Therapy for Treating Intimate Relationships: Healing disconnection, betrayal, trauma and more through the body
Copyright :
Learn how to use body-based strategies to help clients experiencing relationship distress identify the true source of the issue, repair ruptures, allow constructive solutions to emerge, and reconnect emotionally and sexually. Beneath words, two nervous systems communicate through tone and body language. When couples become emotionally charged or shut down it’s because they’re feeling threatened, by something inside of them or something between them and their partner. Their nervous system engages to protect. This step-by-step training will give you the somatic interventions you need to track the “language of the body,” intervene effectively at the first sign that their nervous system is signaling danger, and utilize powerful somatic interventions to keep therapy moving forward and help clients achieve the deep healing they are seeking.
