Description
Based on the work of leading trauma experts, we know that difficult emotions, trauma and suffering are stored in the body…
What hasn’t been so clear is how to release the pain that’s deeply entrenched in our clients’ body, mind and spirit.
Regardless of which therapy approaches you’re using, you need to be able to help your clients tolerate overwhelming and uncomfortable emotions come up…
…so you can help them with a wide range of clinical problems and diagnoses, including PTSD, complex trauma, substance abuse, attachment wounds and more.
Join Dr. Raja Selvam to learn critical somatic therapy skills every clinician should know to help their clients process trauma and more.
Drawing from research in neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and body psychotherapy, Dr. Selvam shares with you a step-by-step framework so you can:
• Help your clients stay curious in the face of overwhelming emotions
• Build tolerance for tough emotions so you can do deep trauma and emotional processing
• Improve your own capacity for emotional attunement with clients
• Enhance mindfulness and spiritual practices by embodying emotions
…All while shortening treatment times with any other modalities you’re already using!
Register now and learn how to help your clients master their emotions and take back control of their lives!
