Workshop Description
Healing from Trauma and Stress Online Workshop
The Role of Nervous System Regulation
Have you experienced strange, unexplained health issues? Mood swings? Been diagnosed with a mental health condition?
Maybe you have already tried traditional methods such as doctors, medication and talk therapy and even some more alternative approaches, such as breathwork, reiki and naturopathy. Maybe you have had some relief, but you are still struggling with physical and/or mental symptoms.
If you have already tried many different modalities to try and heal yourself, but are still not quite there, this workshop is for you.
If you want to learn more about yourself, your body and your behaviour, this workshop is for you.
And if you want to learn how your unconscious nervous system has been affected by trauma and chronic stress to limit your mental and physical health, then this workshop is definitely for you.
What you will learn
- What is the nervous system?
- How does the nervous system work? Understanding the window of tolerance: hyperarousal and the stress response cycle (acute stress vs chronic stress/trauma).
- How does each trauma/stress response show up for you?
- How to reconnect with the body and begin healing: exteroception, interoception, and somatic tools for each trauma response (fight, flight freeze, fawn).
- Nervous system hygiene: maintenance (biological factors), expansion and healing
WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR?
- For anyone who wishes to address an old or recent traumatic experience, be it heartache, disappointment, hurt, or pain..
