Somatic Transformation Two Year Programme - Grand Prairie, Alberta Sept 25-30, 2008 - This programme, developed by Dr. Sharon Stanley, is a lifespan approach to the healing of trauma based on the neurobiological response to acute and chronic stress and trauma. In this approach, sensory input from the body shapes and changes the structure and function of the brain, while allowing the brain to shape and alter the body. This programme will offered in 4, six day workshops over 2 years and will be co-facilitated by Monica Kingsbury, MEd. :: Register

TS120-Trauma, the Body, and the Autonomic Nervous System: Using Somatic Psychology for Resolution and Regulation Victoria, BC Oct 30, & 31, 2008 - When bodies speak through symptoms they are often telling the story or stories of trauma and accumulated stress patterns of life. Addressing autonomic nervous system (ANS) disregulation from a somatic perspective is key to resolving trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and developmental trauma on a physiological level. This workshop will conceptually link together the body, the brain, and the ANS and how it intersects with trauma. It will offer somatic interventions for working with ANS resolution and regulation in therapeutic and frontline workers. This workshop is offered for a second time through the Justice Institute, Victoria campus and will be co-faciliated with Yvonne Haist, MEd. :: Register

Advanced Somatic Integration: Trauma Resolution and Regulation, Victoria, BC Feb 5 & 6, 2009 - This course will deepen your conceptual understanding of how the body, the brain, the Autonomic Nervous System and trauma intersect and create multiple and complex trauma presentations. You will build upon the foundation of the somatic skills and interventions presented in the foundation course and heighten your awareness of tracking the somatic experience of self and clients in your practice. You will gain skills to work somatically with re-establishing boundaries and working with immobilized responses and patterns of undigested traumatic material.
This course is offered through the Justice Institute, Victoria campus and co-facilitated by Yvonne Haist, MEd. :: Register
