A body-centered, body-wisdom based approach to the prevention and resolution of trauma for health and helping professionals
Course Outline

Traumatization is a pervasive phenomenon but effective, organismic treatments are hard to find that address the health of the whole person.

Trauma Healing is a gentle psychophysiological therapy; it is verbally facilitated, employs judicious use of touch, distinguishes between shock trauma and developmental trauma, and effectively employs multi-modal interventions to address the multifaceted symptoms of traumatization.

As a pragmatic therapy, Trauma Healing taps body-wisdom to capitalize on the innate and instinctual capacities of awareness and self-regulation. This training is designed for licensed, credentialed health and helping professionals who work with traumatized clients and want to integrate Trauma Healing into their allied health practice.
