Discover how and why trauma manifests as physical symptoms and what we can do about it. With Q&A.
About this Event

Trauma is not just in your head! In fact, trauma can impact our whole bodies. We will explore what happens in our bodies during the survival response, how our nervous system responds and coordinates physiological responses throughout our body. We need these responses to survive, but what happens when we get ‘stuck’? 

Discover what the implications are for our bodies, and crucially, what we can all do to help ourselves and those around us. When we understand how trauma and the body are intrinsically interconnected, we can understand how to heal, and reconnect to ourselves, those around us and to our environment.

Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7:30pm - come down early to grab a good seat!

 Speaker Bio:

Dr Susanna Petche is redefining trauma care and leading a movement for change. Founder of Trauma-Sense and creator of the C-Sense methodology, she blends neuroscience, functional medicine, and coaching to address the hidden effects of trauma. With 25+ years as a GP, she saw how unresolved trauma fuels many health issues, inspiring her to create training and resources for professionals, workplaces, and individuals. In October 2025, she will deliver a TEDx talk on the importance of acknowledging trauma. A sought-after speaker, she has shared stages with Dr Gabor Maté and Dr Rangan Chatterjee, challenging outdated approaches to health and healing.
