Touch in Therapy? Yes!!!

This workshop will explain why psychotherapy alone is inadequate for helping people to heal from chronic stress and trauma. We will discuss how chronic stress and trauma become embodied, as well as look at how our health is directly impacted by the effects of stress and our emotions. We will look at current research about how our cells function in relation to the environment and the chemical nature of that environment. You will be introduced to experiential exercises you can use to increase your own somatic awareness as well as enhance your work with clients. We will discuss applications of somatic work as it integrates with NLP in the domains of enhancing relationships and long-term recovery from addiction. Additionally, there will be a discussion of legal aspects of utilizing touch in therapy.
