Embodied Healing
Clinician Information Session
The goal isn’t to feel calm.
But to build awareness of internal experience so there’s more possibility for choice.
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).
