Trauma Treatment Transformed: Integrating Polyvagal Theory & Somatic Work with Arielle Schwartz

Join acclaimed therapist and renowned author, Dr. Arielle Schwartz, for an immersive exploration of “Embodied Healing,” a groundbreaking approach to trauma treatment. In this transformative, 6-hour virtual workshop, delve deep into the intersection of Polyvagal Theory and Somatic Work, and discover how integrating these modalities can revolutionize your therapeutic practice.

Arielle brings her expertise and passion for trauma treatment to this workshop, offering participants a unique opportunity to learn from her years of clinical experience and research in the field. As a leading voice in the integration of somatic techniques and Polyvagal Theory, Dr. Schwartz provides practical insights and evidence-based strategies for addressing the physiological roots of trauma.

Polyvagal Theory offers a transdiagnostic framework for trauma treatment, illuminating the physiological roots of a wide array of physical and mental health conditions. By understanding and addressing the imbalances within the autonomic nervous system, therapists and clients can compassionately navigate the complexities of mood, anxiety, and traumatic stress-related disorders.

While traditional talk therapy often centers on verbal narratives, it frequently falls short in facilitating a comprehensive rebalancing of the autonomic nervous system in trauma treatment. This workshop empowers therapists with time-tested and research-based somatic tools, coupled with yoga-based breathwork, movement, and awareness practices, to effectively alleviate clients’ anxiety, obsessive thinking, and feelings of hopelessness.

Through applied Polyvagal Theory within trauma treatment, participants will gain a profound understanding of how to cultivate lasting changes that promote physiological balance and psychological wellness.

By attending this workshop, you will learn how to guide your clients in:

• Immediately regulating their own nervous systems
