Somatic Trauma Therapy
If you are a practitioner in the fields of psychotherapy, social work, mental health, or wellness coaching — do you sense that your patients’ and clients’ traumatic experiences require more than conventional interventions?
You’re absolutely right, says Manuela Mischke-Reeds, MFT, clinical therapist and international somatic psychology teacher with more than 25 years of experience.
Your patients and clients likely don’t possess the spoken language to express the complexity of their pain — yet, their bodies can express it all. Years ago, these same revelations inspired Manuela to create her own Somatic Trauma Therapy approach.
It draws on various somatic therapy practices rooted in polyvagal theory and includes key practices from Hakomi Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and Innate Somatic Intelligence Trauma Therapy.
Join Manuela for a brand-new hour-long event and learn how you can add Somatic Trauma Therapy skills to your existing professional practice so you can assess which embodiment tools your patients or clients will benefit from most, and empower them to trust their own innate somatic intelligence that lies beneath the trauma.
Manuela will also share how you can expand your inner Soma toolkit with the Somatic Trauma Therapy approach to more effectively bring healing to both your clients and yourself.
As Manuela will explain, just as important as supporting your client’s journey towards a whole and healthy life is your inside-out transformation as their healer.
To effectively and lovingly guide your clients into the healing potential they hold in their bodies and hearts, you must first mediate your own triggers, projections, transference, and more.
In this hour-long free online event, you’ll discover:
- Why somatic therapy work is so essential in healing trauma
- How the collective trauma of world events is likely impacting your individual client sessions — and how to be in somatic coherence in times of fear and polarization
- How to address the individual suffering through the body to face life’s larger questions — developing somatic resilience in the process
- How to regulate your own nervous system when you’re working with trauma clients — to most effectively navigate systemic trauma issues that may be overwhelming both you and your client
- A guided ventral vagal practice to regulate yourself toward internal safety and connection
You’ll learn how to respond to your clients with wisdom and skill in a way that transcends the old methods of healing, including evidence-based clinical skills and trauma-informed somatic techniques for self-regulation.
Live long, love life and be well.
