About The Program:

When a trauma has occurred, the impact of the trauma can affect a person's life for a long time to come. The severity of the impact of a specific trauma is influenced by the person's past experiences and traumas. Research of the neurological and endocrine systems make it very clear that it is possible to heal from the impacts of trauma. It is possible, through a deeply experiential, transformational therapeutic process, to greatly reduce the impact of the trauma and help the client grow in a positively directional way towards peace, joy and empowerment.

This workshop will demonstrate ways to begin the healing process soon after trauma occurs as well as with past traumas. This will include:

• How to release the traumatic energies held in the physical neurological system as “body memory”.
• How to help the client change their intrapsychic system including their emotions, perceptions, expectations and behaviours
• How to use the important role spirituality has in the healing process.
• How to help families heal from the impact of trauma so that they can connect and support each other in healthy ways.

The workshop leader will incorporate lecturettes, discussion, experiential exercises, small group work and skill development practice as part of the program. This 2 day workshop is intended for helping professionals working with clients in therapy.
