Embodied Healing

Clinician Information Session

 

The goal isn’t to feel calm.

It’s to increase the capacity to stay with experience safely.

An introduction to Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) and embodied approaches to trauma recovery.

 

Why embodied approaches?

Many clients understand their trauma cognitively, yet continue to experience:

  • chronic hypervigilance

  • dissociation

  • shutdown

  • emotional overwhelm

  • panic

  • difficulty accessing safety in their bodies

This clinician information session offers an introduction to an evidence-based body-oriented approach to trauma treatment through Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY), nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed group work.
