Trauma-Sensitive Movement: Somatic Techniques to Support the Nervous System

$169.99 Standard

Help clients access what is held in their bodies so they can move with and beyond their trauma stories. 

Movement is a fundamental, innate expression of the body that can serve as a powerful tool for processing trauma, releasing deeply held emotions, and re-establishing a client's sense of embodiment.  

Introducing movement into trauma work can feel challenging – but it doesn’t have to!.  

In this 3-hour recording, bestselling author and experienced somatic psychotherapist Manuela Mischke-Reeds, MA, MFT, will show you effective and safe ways to incorporate movement techniques with trauma clients to facilitate healing and integration.
