The Body: A Wellspring of Healing
Presented by Anita Mandley, MS, LCPC

*Up to 4 CE credits will be issued to those attending this virtual opportunity.
Details: August 10 (10:00am - 2:30pm, including a 30-minute lunch break)

Description: This workshop will provide the participant with the opportunity to learn the basic rationale for somatic psychotherapy. Participants will also build some tools for accessing their clients' own somatic resources for building tolerance through distress and adversity, increasing resilience, and fostering capacity for social engagement and participation in their own lives. Tools for learning will include lectures, video presentations, and experiential learning.    

Learning Objectives: Participants will...

  • Learn 3 reasons why incorporating somatic interventions into the therapeutic process expands the possibilities for healing 

  • Understand the concepts of autoregulation, co-regulation, and self-regulation 

  • Learn how to recognize various levels of activation and settling and how to titrate to prevent the client and the therapist from overwhelm and dysregulation in the therapeutic process 

  • Learn a Somatic Experiencing process for building coherence, processing unintegrated pieces of their own story and experiences while building their tolerance and resilience. 

  • Learn about and experience the benefit of therapeutic touch.
