Befriending the Nervous System: Strategies for Trauma, Sensory Processing, and Developmental Wounds
Nervous System Strategies Certificate Level 1 (5.5 hours, 5.5 CES)
Untangling the nervous system is key to understanding your client’s stress responses. Instead of looking at it like a tangled ball of yarn, you can approach it as a source of incredible information and clues. In Befriending the Nervous System: Strategies for Trauma, Sensory Processing, and Developmental Wounds, you’ll learn to observe behavioral responses, track the nervous system, and interpret sensory systems to create a holistic picture of your client’s trauma landscape. Then you can develop an integrated approach using somatics, parts work, neurobiology, and attachment theory to facilitate unique trauma healing. For more information or to enroll click here!
