Healing Relational Trauma
Copyright :
Clients struggling with relational trauma, complex PTSD, or bereavement often just want the pain to stop, and expect their therapist to have a clear map to their healing. Although everyone’s pain and trauma are unique, there are ways you can help your clients accept and normalize the trauma experience and move toward healing the mind and body. In this highly experiential workshop, you’ll discover:
- Practices for embodying and moving through uncomfortable feelings and distressing emotions that can be done from a chair and easily translated into your practice
- Experiential ways of working with clients who shut down or dissociate in session
- Skills for accessing client’s inner emotional and physical resources for creating safety
- Practices for tapping into the ability to witness, disconfirm, and release parts of the past that are no longer helpful
