In an Unspoken Voice

This lecture is geared for psychotherapists of all types, as well as for physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, bodyworkers, educators, and those curious about their own healing process. Objectives Describe the naturalistic mechanics of trauma and the survival responses of fight, flight, freeze, and collapse as it relates to clinical treatment. Explain the evolutionary underpinnings of trauma and the Polyvagal theory and their clinical implications. Demonstrate the importance of “Bottom-Up” processing versus “Top-Down” processing to improve treatment outcomes. Incorporate Somatic Experiencing® containment tools into your practice to more effectively guide your client through trauma therapy.
