About this Event
Training - Somatic Ways of Working with Trauma (NCPS Quality Checked)
We need both top-down approaches (such as CBT) as well as bottom-up approaches (such as somatic work) in safe trauma therapy. Trauma often cannot be verbalised (easily), as trauma lives in the body. Working the body can be equally tricky, as the body may feel foreign, disconnected, or frightened for clients (and us as therapists!).
In this training we will explore a host of somatic complaints (such as headaches) and how they might relate to trauma.
We will also practice with various Somatic Techniques:
- How to track the body
- Verbalising some of the tracking that we have done with clients
- Somatic resourcing
What is happening in the body in therapy? How can we work with it (rather than against it)? How can we befriend the body, whilst supporting the client to become more aware of what is going on for them on a somatic level? Clients often show subtle signs of resourcing (such as stroking their hair). We will work to recognise them, slow it down, and actively incorporate them into trauma therapy.This training is experiential in nature: You will have the chance to discuss and practice with some of the things we will be covering.
Who is this training for:
The training is suitable for both student and qualified counsellors, psychotherapists, social workers, psychologists, support workers, GP's, psychiatrists, hypnotherapists, as well as any other mental health professional who works with trauma or wants to work with traumatised clients.
This Training Day can be taken on its own, or as the 7th training day as part of the NCPS Quality Checked 10-day Foundation Diploma - Therapeutic Safety in Trauma. It is taught 100% Online.
