Somatic Movement, Trauma and PTSD Webinar
As Somatic Movement Educators and Therapists, we often touch into the residue of difficult experience held in our client's bodies. We already have immense skills for working with trauma but may not have the training to help resolve it. Whether it is developmental trauma, shock trauma, or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, we benefit from having a basic understanding of how traumatic experience affects the body-mind and how we can help to diminish its impacts on physical and mental function. Drawing on the research of Peter Levine and Somatic Experiencing®, Clydesdale and Taylor present the basic neurobiology of trauma, offer suggestions on how to recognize it, and present guidelines for incorporating trauma healing principles into somatic movement education. The presentation includes simple embodiment exercises and experiential anatomy.
