Somatic Focusing for Trauma

Empowering our bodies to speak

Next Course Dates TBA

A course for focusers, new or experienced, for connecting with life forward movement in your body beyond trauma.

4 x 90min classes

Some of us may find that our body feels unavailable, silent, disconnected or even oversensitive during focusing. That’s just our body and nervous system protecting us. With somatic healing practices you can support your focusing and empower your body to speak and connect with you.

It begins with slowing things down and reacquainting with the body through the senses. This helps the brain feel at home in the body again. Building this trust allows those parts of us to feel a sense of safety reinhabiting our body once more. A connection that was weakened or lost due to our past experiences. With time we can rewire this connection and feel our bodies belonging to us again. At the heart of healing is a compassionate presence to self.

Classes will be an integrative experience of information, discussion, reflection and movement practice. We will be guided by all the current neurobiology and neuroscience research and mind-body somatic approaches.
