If you often feel disconnected from your body, caught up in your head and struggling to calm down and rest, this experiential course will help you understand why it is happening and how you can start to reconnect with your body to feel calmer and more grounded. 'Soma' means living body and in somatics, we believe that your body is an intelligent, self-healing organism. It is designed to serve and protect you even when it may not seem this way when you are stressed or triggered. Once you start to understand your body and your nervous system's automatic reactions, you will learn how to work with them instead of resisting them. You don't need to fix your body, you just need to help it heal itself. In this course, I will guide you through the basic concepts from trauma-informed somatics to discover the healing power inherent in your own body.

Healing from Trauma: Techniques for Recovery 🌱 When it comes to working through trauma, several therapeutic approaches can be incredibly effective: ✨ EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps reprocess traumatic memories, allowing them to lose their emotional intensity. ✨ Inner Child Work reconnects you with vulnerable parts of yourself to heal past emotional wounds. ✨ Psychoeducation on Polyvagal Theory explains how your nervous system responds to stress and trauma, helping you regulate emotional responses. ✨ Clinical Hypnotherapy accesses the subconscious to break through deeply rooted trauma and instill positive coping mechanisms. Each technique offers unique benefits, supporting deeper healing and emotional resilience. 💪 #TraumaHealing #EMDR #InnerChildWork #PolyvagalTheory #ClinicalHypnotherapy #TherapyTools #MentalHealth #HealingJourney #HarleyStreet #QueenAnneStreet #Counselling

All too often, the past doesn’t stay in the past, especially when it comes to childhood trauma. Childhood trauma can have profound and lasting effects on adults, influencing the way they perceive themselves, others, and the world around them. Here are some ways in which childhood trauma can impact adults: 1. Emotional Impact: Adults who have experienced childhood trauma may struggle with intense and overwhelming emotions, including anxiety, depression, anger, and shame. Some may even experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). 2. Behavioral Patterns: Childhood trauma can lead to the development of maladaptive coping mechanisms and behavioral patterns. This may manifest as self-destructive behaviors, such as substance abuse, self-harm, or unhealthy relationships. 3. Cognitive Functioning: Childhood trauma can impact an adult’s memory, concentration, and decision-making abilities. 4. Relationship Dynamics: Adults who experience childhood trauma may encounter difficulties in forming and maintaining healthy relationships, including trust issues, fear of intimacy, and communication challenges. 5. Physical Health: Research has shown a correlation between childhood trauma and physical health issues in adulthood. Conditions such as chronic pain, autoimmune disorders, and cardiovascular disease may be more prevalent among adults who experienced childhood trauma. Curious to learn more about how childhood trauma can affect someone into adulthood, read our latest blog post on our website. 💚 https://lnkd.in/gNGjMHWx #ChildhoodTrauma #Trauma #HealingFromTrauma

One challenge of using EMDR for early trauma and neglect is that EMDR readily targets explicit memories, but early trauma is held in implicit memory and thus is not typically subject to direct recall. Join Sandra Paulsen, Ph.D. for her course "When there are No Words" to learn how to target and treat early traumas. Learn More: https://lnkd.in/drzdF3x4 #EMDR

The trauma story isn't always the key to healing.  So often, we're told that a narrative is necessary to validate our traumatic experiences. But what if I told you that the experience of trauma can still have an impact on a person's well-being, even if they don't remember the specific details of the event?  Memory processes can be complex and influenced by various factors, and the effects of trauma can manifest in different ways. Not having a clear narrative can be confusing and disorienting. But it doesn't mean your experience is invalid.  Listen to what your body is telling you. Your physical sensations and emotional responses are valid expressions of trauma. Follow me on my main account Dr. Kate Truitt for more resources on #mentalhealth, #psychology and #therapytips.

In a recent article, a PACT Level 3 Therapist shared a story of how a couple navigated their trauma healing through couple therapy. Through the PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy) approach, the therapist helped them work through trauma by addressing triggers and helping to understand the impact of behavior. Through this process, they learned to recognize and manage each other's sensitivities, which led to a more empathetic and connected relationship.

The Healing Power of EFT Tapping vs EMDR: Which One is Right for You? #efttapping #tapping

You are the expert when it comes to your trauma. It's so vital to acknowledge that sometimes, therapy doesn't feel right, even though we think, "They must know what they're doing."  If it doesn't feel right, trust your intuition. Especially as trauma survivors, it's essential to find a therapist who truly sees and attunes to us. This part of my journey is a reminder that the therapeutic relationship should always feel safe and supportive.  Follow me on my main account Dr. Kate Truitt for more resources on #mentalhealth, #psychology and #therapytips  Sign up for our newsletter in the highlight for weekly updates, including free resources, event updates, and special discounts.
