Trauma-Informed Bodywork (via Zoom)

We begin the workshop first by defining trauma as a physiological phenomenon where our nervous system’s ability to adapt has been overwhelmed. To understand this, we review the basic physiological functions of trauma, starting by examining the nervous system. We discuss how embodied healing modalities are helpful in retraining our nervous system to effectively up- and down-regulate as needed.

We discuss how we are “wired for resilience” in that our nervous system inherently supports recovery from traumatic events. We acknowledge that this perspective empowers clients to learn more about their own nervous systems, including how to effectively self-regulate. In doing so, we reframe healing not as an intervention but as a lifestyle practice.

From here, the workshop will focus on creating space and modalities for transformation.
