Whole-Body Trauma Healing for Therapists
Immerse yourself in a day of learning, experiencing, and connecting with your inner self while building community with likeminded people. Allow yourself to let go of all that no longer serves you in order to manifest your best life. This will be a heart opening & healing experience.
This workshop is for therapists to develop tools to better help their clients by understanding the importance of treating the whole-body, not just the mind, to fully heal from trauma. You will gain understanding of the importance of doing your own inner work and engaging in self-care, and the impact this has on how you show up with your clients and in your life. In addition, you will learn how to be a treatment coordinator, by assisting your clients in connecting to complementary alternative practitioners who can provide interventions outside your areas of expertise. You will learn how to explain the rationale for incorporating these services into their treatment so you can integrate a holistic approach into your practices.
Whole-body trauma healing comes from the holistic psychotherapy framework which holds that a person's consciousness is not housed in any one part of the person, but is instead an integration of the mind, body, and spirit. Practitioners of holistic psychotherapy look at the body as one entity to help people heal and thrive on a much deeper level. This workshop will provide a comprehensive understanding of how trauma is held in the body, the process of somatic IFS, and the relationship and importance in utilizing psychotherapy and holistic treatments to heal the whole person.
Somatic Internal Family Systems (IFS)- IFS is a theory that believes that the person as a whole being is made up of many parts working in concert with one another. Somatic IFS differs from tradition IFS in that the focus on the body is more comprehensively involved in every step of the process. The client may hear or see the part, or experience the emotions of a part, and is asked where the part resides in the body. During the unburdening process the client is directed to find where the burden is held in or around the body. The unity of body and mind becomes more than a concept and instead a lived experience.
