2-Day Complex Trauma – Victoria Grinman (Digital Seminar)

2-Day Complex Trauma – Victoria Grinman (Digital Seminar)

Description

Today’s best clinicians know that effective treatment of trauma must include helping clients connect with and release deeply embedded traumatic stress in the body.

But engaging clients in this work can be difficult. People who have experienced trauma often feel like strangers in their own bodies, disconnected from somatic awareness and stuck in the past, dominated by innate trauma responses like:

• Emotional numbing and dissociation
• Affective overwhelm
• Dysregulated autonomic arousal
• Intrusive thoughts and memories
• Loss of words or coherent narrative
• Lack of trust in others
• Impulsivity and aggression

Though protective in nature, these responses now serve as barriers to healing and living a connected, fulfilling life. How can you help clients release the stored trauma and re-establish the mind-body connection they so desperately need?

Watch Victoria Grinman, PhD, LCSW-R, for this transformational 2-day experiential workshop that will change how you treat traumatic stress in clients of all ages.

Through experiential exercises and masterful explanation, Dr. Grinman will demonstrate how easily you can integrate somatic and sensory-based techniques into your practice to help your clients heal beyond words.

Backed by neuroscience research yet practical in nature, these interventions incorporate yoga, movement, mindfulness, touch, interoception, dance, play and music into your work at a level that is comfortable for you. No previous experience required! Purchase today!

So what is NLP?
NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Neuro refers to your neurology;
Linguistic refers to language; programming refers to how that neural language functions.
In other words, learning NLP is like learning the language of your own mind!

NLP is the study of excellent communication–both with yourself, and with others.
It was developed by modeling excellent communicators and therapists who got results with their clients.
NLP is a set of tools and techniques, but it is so much more than that.
It is an attitude and a methodology of knowing how to achieve your goals and get results
