Description

Although there’s a clear connection between insecure attachment in childhood and a client’s inability to navigate emotional states and self-soothe in healthy ways later in life, this relationship is often overlooked in trauma work. And when trauma survivors don’t feel a basic sense of safety, just getting started in therapy can be a monumental challenge.  In this session, you’ll discover creative strategies to help traumatized clients develop and enhance affect-regulation skills. You’ll learn techniques like soothing breath work, resourcing with body movement, guided imagery, simple flashback halting protocols, and how to activate mirror neurons. You’ll also discover:

  • How to identify and implement treatment strategies designed to enhance external and internal safety
  • Creative strategies that teach traumatized clients how to modulate emotional arousal and self-soothe
  • How to implement strategies that incorporate somatic resourcing for grounding
