Description

Help clients access what is held in their bodies so they can move with and beyond their trauma stories. 

Movement is a fundamental, innate expression of the body that can serve as a powerful tool for processing trauma, releasing deeply held emotions, and re-establishing a client's sense of embodiment.  

Introducing movement into trauma work can feel challenging – but it doesn’t have to!.  

In this 3-hour recording, bestselling author and experienced somatic psychotherapist Manuela Mischke-Reeds, MA, MFT, will show you effective and safe ways to incorporate movement techniques with trauma clients to facilitate healing and integration.   

Using a refreshing combination of didactic and experiential teaching, Manuela will provide you with the clinical insight and tools you need to:  

  • Recognize when it is appropriate to use movement as an active intervention for trauma processing.  

  • Observe and track the moving body to gain diagnostic insight into trauma patterns  

  • Use movement techniques to support clients’ emotional regulation and resilience 

  • And more!
