Trauma lives in the body.
So does healing.
Trauma lives in the body — and so does the path to healing. This free 90-minute preview offers an inside look at the Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy Certificate, a first-of-its-kind 60-hour program uniting the world's leading somatic trauma teachers — Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, IFS, EMDR, and more — into one unified curriculum. Walk through the full curriculum, meet the faculty live, and ask them anything.
WHY SOMATIC TRAUMA THERAPY?
Are you ready to help heal trauma from a holistic and body-based unified approach? Are you committed to transforming pain and challenges into growth, meaning, change and resilience?
A holistic approach defines trauma not as an event, but as a disruption and overwhelm to our body-mind's capacity to adapt, thrive, and flourish. Trauma can occur when:
- ✺ There is too much, too soon — or too much for too long
- ✺ There is not enough for too long
- ✺ Power and agency have been taken from a person or collective
- ✺ The stressors outweigh the resources available to navigate them
- ✺ Our primal protective instincts and responses are thwarted
- ✺ There is not enough time, space, or permission to heal
Somatic therapy is an experiential approach to mind-body integration — working through the body's primal language of movement, breath, and sensation. It helps:
- ✺ Restore the body as a place of safety while expanding the capacity to process preverbal and nonverbal body memory
- ✺ Metabolize unprocessed emotions
- ✺ Complete thwarted (incomplete) stress responses
- ✺ Restore our optimal relationship to our self and the world around us
“Thriving is our birthright. Healing individual and collective trauma is the deepest embodiment of this truth.”
