Click here to RSVP for the Open House. Mindlessness and bodily disconnect are common experiences when faced with traumatic events. In activated states of awareness the client's ability to comprehend their internal world diminishes. These somatically dysregulated states impact the client's relationship to themselves, their environment and their loved ones. This presentation will give a framework in how to gently unfold the client towards their inherent capacity for embodiment.
