While we need a degree of stress to help us mobilize and respond to situations, many of us get stuck in a never-ending cycle of overwhelm due to chronic, unresolved stress and past or current trauma. Discover how to work through emotional regulation when difficulties arise, and shift and integrate parts of your story from survival defences to acceptance and compassion.
You will gain practical techniques that will assist you to better understand and tolerate ongoing stress and possible symptoms of trauma. Together we will explore simple, yet effective trauma informed mindfulness and body-based, gentle practices to help calm, soothe and regulate the nervous system through mind, movement and breath.
Here we will learn how to complete the stress response by helping you recognize your warning signs through listening and responding to your needs. The connection between trauma and nervous system regulation will become apparent and once understood will form a potent tool kit for personal empowerment and coping strategies.
