About this Event
Do you feel overwhelmed? Disconnected? Frequently restless, tense or fatigued? Learn how to process and transform anxiety in this therapeutic workshop.
Somatic psychotherapy helps us regain physical and emotional wellbeing. Through body-based practices, we become attentive of our ever-changing selves…breath, held tension, heart rate, movement patterns and posture. As we gently build embodiment skills, we unwind unhealthy states in favor of ease and liberation.
Join us Saturday, January 4th for an experiential workshop in polyvagal-informed tools for anxiety. Derived from 8 years of training in somatic psychology with survivors of trauma, this workshop integrates Polyvagal Theory (a theory about how trauma and the nervous system affects our perceptions and responses), Somatic Internal Family Systems and Authentic Movement.
Together, we bridge the intelligence of the mind with the innate wisdom of the body. When self-awareness grows, authentic expression emerges and obstacles to health begin to shift.
Learning Objectives ::
*Learn the difference between fear & anxiety
*Discover your personal somatic identifiers of anxiety
*Learn the basics of Polyvagal Theory and build neuroceptive awareness
*Learn the key components of somatic therapy

“The body can manifest mental unease and can also help heal it.”
