Advanced Somatic Integration: Trauma Resolution and Regulation 2 day workshop with the Justice Institute - 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

Somatic Transformation Evening Introduction Lecture - Edmonton, Alberta Friday April 9th - This free evening lecture will introduce participants to the basic theory and practice of Somatic Transformation, a lifespan approach to the healing of trauma based on the neurobiological response to acute and chronic stress and trauma, developed by Dr. Sharon Stanley. 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. :: Register

Somatic Transformation 2 Day Introduction Workshop - Edmonton, Alberta April 10 & 11th - Join Lisa Mortimore for an exciting 2 day workshop on Somatic Transformation, a neurobiological, constructivist and developmental approach to the healing of trauma developed by Dr. Sharon A. Stanley. This highly creative, therapeutic approach elicits the wisdom of the body and facilitates transformational change. Somatic Transformation combines research in the fields of attachment, empathy, brain development, autonomic regulation of the nervous system, trauma studies and ancient practices of healing and builds on insights gleaned from neurobiology to attend to the subtle, right brain injuries of insecure and disorganized attachment and shock trauma. ST explores the art of sensory integration with awareness and consciousness, motor capabilities, feelings and emotions, images and archetypes.
