About the Course
We’ve all been traumatized, some more than others. It’s only natural that you will discover traumatic wounding while providing Rolfing for your clients.
The Structural Integration model we’re trained in is excellent for relieving chronic structural problems but not enough to bring resolution to trauma symptoms.
These symptoms are frozen and deeply entangled in the primitive nervous system and when released can cause shaking, trembling, twisting and turning.
On an emotional level there can be shame, despair, fear, helplessness, and/or hopelessness. Learning to be present for and managing these responses are essential in our clinical practice.
Trough this triad of approaches you'll learn how to :
Identify the signs of trauma and PTSD.
Work with explicit and implicit memory.
Reconnect the client with their inner resources.
Provide support, safety, and containment for your client.
Increase your spectrum of touch skills.
Resolve traumatic wounding through the Body and Mind.
Cultivate presence, timing, and rhythm in facilitating emotional healing.
