About This Event
*Due to grant funding requirements, you must serve Summit County Residents in order to register for this training*
This interactive training offers licensed professionals a practical and trauma-informed framework for integrating somatic therapy into their clinical work with clients. Participants will explore how trauma is stored in the body and how healing must also occur through the body - not just the mind.
Through guided demonstrations, experiential activities, and case-based reflection, attendees will deepen their understanding of the nervous system, polyvagal theory, and the somatic imprint of trauma. Together, we will build a compassionate and developmentally sensitive “Somatic Toolbox” that supports regulation, safety, and resilience across diverse clinical populations. Whether you are new to somatic therapy or looking to enhance your existing skills, this workshop offers science-backed practices you can bring directly into the therapy room.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the somatic legacy of trauma.
- Define Somatic Therapy and understand its application in a clinical setting.
- Define Polyvagal Theory and understand the 3 nervous system states and their relation to the body.
- Learn and practice actionable skills to build a functional Somatic Toolbox.
