Our clients experience routine exposure to trauma, leaving the body in disarray and unable to remain in the present moment. This routine exposure then continuously activates the body’s stress response and inevitably does not allow our clients to reach a state of balance and “okayness”. In this training, we will learn about various ways to view trauma—including Somatic Experiencing and Indigenous ways of healing—and how to assist our clients in their own journey. (6 CEUs)
