In surviving trauma, individuals are left with a host of easily re-activated physical responses and an inadequate memory record. Traumatic reminders keep the trauma ‘alive’ by repetitively re-activating the stress response system and survival responses. As a result, our clients continue to feel that they are still in danger, still inadequate or at fault.

Full Course Information
In this intellectually stimulating and therapeutically oriented seminar, psychotherapists and counsellors will learn how to assess and make sense of trauma-based somatic symptoms and how to apply neurobiologically informed therapy techniques drawn from Sensorimotor Psychotherapy – a body-oriented talking therapy.
Using a mindfulness-based approach, participants will be introduced to understanding ‘trauma’ not as an event but as a ‘living legacy’ of overwhelming emotions and sensations, intrusive images and memories, impulsive acting out, numbing and disconnection.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to:
- Describe the autonomic, cognitive, affective and somatic effects of PTSD
- Implement mindfulness-based techniques to challenge procedurally-learned patterns of response
- Identify somatic techniques that regulate a traumatized nervous system
Workshop outline:
- The neurobiology of trauma: why we need to work with the body
- The ‘living legacy’ of traumatic experience: what perpetuates post-traumatic stress
- Sensorimotor Psychotherapy: principles and interventions for befriending and resolving trauma symptoms
