The Body of Trauma:
An experiential exploration of Polyvagal Theory as a dynamic bridge for working with traumatised bodies
with Lucy Holbrook
Online 2027 Date TBC
You probably know that the body, trauma and PVT are connected yet, nonetheless, you can find it confusing to know how to work with them. In my experience, all three have their own domain or territory, yet are also dynamically interconnected.
Combining theory with practical experiential activities this workshop offers a body psychotherapy and polyvagal informed framework for exploring the dynamics of this interconnection. You will have the opportunity to start identifying your own polyvagal states and bodily resources that support you to navigate these states with more flexibility and ease. Gaining your own felt-sense experience of your body and polyvagal theory is an essential first step before attempting to work with your clients’ bodies and trauma.
Outcomes
Increased knowledge and understanding of:
-
The impact of trauma on the body
-
Some key body psychotherapy principles
-
How polyvagal theory can support those impacted by trauma
Who is this workshop aimed at?
For both qualified and trainee therapists. It may be of particular interest if:
-
Your training is primarily “talk-based” and you’d like to understand how to work more with the body in your practice
-
You have some knowledge or understanding of polyvagal theory and would like to explore it in relation to your own bodily experience.
Date: TBC
Fee: £80 Early bird fee £60
