The Embodiment of
Trauma:Somatic
HealingMethods

Leading trauma experts emphasize the importance of working with the body and nervous system in trauma treatment. As therapy shifts toward more decolonizing and human-centered approaches, attending to the embodied experience of trauma becomes essential. While somatic therapy can feel complex—requiring awareness of subtle bodily cues—ignoring it risks missing key insights into clients' internal resources and stress patterns. This training introduces core somatic experiencing concepts, including resourcing and regulation. Participants will explore polyvagal, body-based interventions like movement, interoception, titration, and visualization, as well as the role of the therapist’s own nervous system in the healing process.
