This is a description.

The treatment of trauma will be addressed with the use of Somatic Experiencing andMindfulness practices for accessing the unconscious and activated inner resources. The three unique orientations emphasize a unified mind body healing approach that appreciates utilization as an orientation that understands the importance of the symptom as a pathway to inner healing. Orientation, resourcing states, titration, pendulation, containment, witnessing awareness, and learning to pace and follow the patient’s nervous system will be reviewed. A step by step model will be used to teach how to navigate the chaos of energy wells. Tools for tracking coherency and creating comfort, safety and resilience within the body and nervous systems will be learned by participants. The clinical adaptions for working with an activated nervous system and shuttling towards trauma deactivation will be demonstrated.

The work of Peter Levine’s models of Trauma and Healing Vortex states of experiences will be highlighted in the course. The body can open healthier pathways with these methods. In order to foster trauma healing, coherency and Resiliency, we will emphasize the use of naturalistic hypnotic trance, guided mindfulness practice, and somatic breath tools.

The educational objectives are listed.

1. Identify the two styles of trance induction used in the demonstration.
2. Explain Guided Mindfulness meditations which will be demonstrated for clinical use in the treatment of trauma.
3. Utilize new clinical skills from Ericksonian Hypnosis and Somatic Experiencing for tracking, pacing and reframing somatic symptoms into healing pathways for trauma healing and mind-body resolution.
