Healing the Physiological and Psychic
Effects of Trauma

A Workshop that Allows you to resolve the debilitating effects of Trauma:
Feeling trapped and contracted
Feeling disconnected from self and others
Feeling stuck in the past
Feeling angry and resentful

A Workshop that allows you to resolve trauma in body and soul and access:
Your natural joy and innate aliveness!
Your true strength and inner power!
Your right to develop your inner gifts!
Your ability to be in the present moment and love fully!

In these workshops we will create a safe environment, elicit resources, and proceed in a mindful manner so that the effects of trauma can be discharged and resolved (rather than driven deeper as often happens in cathartic models). We will use principles, strategies, and ceremonies derived from Body-Centered Psychotherapy, Expressive Therapies, and Shamanism. Some of the principles are Embodiment (creating somatic awareness, boundaries, grounding, and expression), Relationship (eliciting bonding, mirroring, witnessing, and empathy), and Energy Regulation (building and modulating energy through breath, movement and sound). Some of the strategies are identifying and eliciting both states of trauma and joy/aliveness, promoting health self-regulation, which facilitates the discharge of trauma, and shifting core beliefs. Most of the ceremonies are designed to either promote healthy self-regulation, which facilitates the discharge of trauma, and shifting core beliefs. Most of the ceremonies are designed to either promote healthy self-regulation or to create experiences that mirror healthy development (to release developmental trauma).
