As humans, we store memories, experiences and emotions on a cellular level. Somatic approaches focus on body awareness and how to cultivate it in and around the body. Providing clients with interventions to address how trauma is stored and experienced in the body is essential. This training will present an overview of how trauma is experienced in the body. Specific somatic interventions such as resourcing, grounding, dual awareness, and sequencing will be presented. Learners will view application of somatic interventions by analyzing case studies and video demonstrations. Discover methods to help your clients release trauma and negative emotions from the body through a trauma-informed care lens.
This course is based on the recorded webinar, The Body Can Change the Score: Exploring Somatic Interventions for Trauma created by Diane Bigler, LCSW, LSCSW in 2024.
