Working with the Nervous
System: An Introduction to
Somatic Experiencing
Date and Time:
October 04, 2024
9:00am – 10:45am
Location:
10611 Patterson Ave #301
Henrico, VA 23238
Summary:
Somatic Experiencing (SE™) aims to resolve symptoms of stress, shock, and trauma that accumulate in our bodies and nervous systems. Trauma, from an SE lens, is focused on how it shows up in the nervous system and how that dysregulation impacts life. When we are stuck in patterns of fight, flight, or freeze, SE helps us release, recover, and become more resilient. Welcome to all individuals who want to apply trauma-informed practices to their work: therapists, coaches, prescribers, teachers, nurses, etc. In this group, we learn bottom-up skills from the bottom-up. Meaning that instead of talking about theory and application, we will be practicing theory and application.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Understand the mechanisms of fight, flight, freeze in the brainstem.
- Practice bringing attention to the body without judgment or analysis.
- Articulate the relevance of coregulation on behalf of therapist
- Identify when a client is leading coregulation or when the therapist is.
