DescriptionThose who are subjugated by violence on a regular basis suffer because they lack access to anything that gives refuge and protection. This session will explore embodied breath, somatic, and movement techniques that provide client and therapist well-being through stabilization, grounding, and state-shifting.
Recognizing that the most important component of client co-regulation is therapist self-regulation, this presentation presents embodied ways that benefit both the therapeutic partnership and the client.
These methods, created by the presenters over 23 years of working with survivors of complex, relational, and historical trauma seeking shelter from war, brutality, and torture, will be buoyed by a blend of theoretical and scientific ideas from Polyvagal-informed Dance/Movement therapy.
