Re-visiting traumatic experiences in therapy can be re-traumatizing to clients. Without the ability to stay connected and present with their sensations, they can reflexibly fall back in the same immobilized states. Rather than experiencing this as reparative or healing, it can actually be re-traumatizing. In this workshop we will discuss the importance of helping clients reconnect with physical sensation, while reframing the body as a powerful, positive resource for grounding, comfort, and containment. Participants will learn specific strategies that can easily be taught to clients in a session. These techniques can allow for a deeper processing of traumatic experience while strengthening self-compassion and modeling tools for self-care.
