Trauma and the Nervous System: The Mind-Body Connection

Overview

Clinicians often try to use the mind to address trauma responses, however there is growing evidence that supports accessing the body, via the nervous system, may help clients better manage trauma responses. In this workshop, you will leave with tools and techniques to help clients feel empowered and more in control of their experience with trauma. This training will accomplish an understanding of trauma as it relates to the nervous system and common dysregulation symptoms. It will include a variety of tools and techniques to regulate the nervous system in order for the mind and body to process trauma.
