Many clients find themselves stuck in a loop of repeatedly being pulled back into trauma reenactments, despite their best efforts to heal. In this workshop, we'll explore why our clients stay locked in a state of threat long after the original wounding has passed, and how the subsequent perceptual, cognitive, and somatic compensations become habits that prevent them from truly healing. Using the latest research, demonstrations, and experiential practices, we'll examine how to help clients identify and break free from the distorted thoughts and bodily responses that perpetuate the trauma cycle. You'll learn practical tools for:
- Recognizing trauma reenactment patterns
- Getting to what’s preventing the release of these patterns
- Building a roadmap for therapy and for clients to release these painful patterns
