workplace learning: trauma-informed practice in the body
For practitioners and mental health professionals who work directly with people affected by trauma. These sessions include a focus on the soma, or body, where trauma is experienced and where much recovery/integration happens.
​
Sessions are suitable for psychology clinics, mental health providers and trauma-informed practitioners in the education, social work, justice, health and community spaces. Whether you work with a clear framework or your team comes from different trauma-informed practice disciplines or body-understanding, these sessions are flexible and adaptable for a range of groups.
trauma-informed practice + the somatic lens: for practitioners and mental health professionals
workshop: trauma-informed practice in the body
An exploration of how trauma and chronic stress are experienced in the body and nervous system, and the connection between the body, brain and our relationships with others. Practitioners work with the Window of Tolerance and build the interoceptive awareness that underpins safer, more attuned practice.
The session is grounded in current evidence and designed so that what you learn integrates into your own clinical or practice context.
workshop: choice & decision-making, somatically
An examination of the neuroscience of choice in trauma and recovery, and how the capacity to make decisions is diminished by stress responses and rebuilt through the body.
Practitioners learn practical strategies for increasing choice-making capacity in the people they work with, using somatic awareness as the route back to agency.
workshop: felt-safety in trauma-informed supervision & development
For practitioners who supervise, mentor or develop others, this session brings trauma-informed principles into the supervisory relationship itself. We look at how power, safety and attunement shape supervision, and how to sustain the development and wellbeing of practitioners working in demanding and often vicariously traumatising environments.
