Course Overview
Experiencing trauma can cause us to respond by entering into a state of survival. Even after the traumatic event or events have ended, we may find that the actions of truncated survival become integrated into the nervous system and can lead to long-term side effects on the body. Eventually, the strategies that kept us alive can keep us from fully living.
In this three part, 12-session certification course, you will learn to recognize and safely resource the tension patterns of these survival responses. This course provides strategies for managing the nervous system that can help us deal with anxiety, overthinking, emotional flooding, and being overwhelmed.
As we develop an understanding of how to regulate the nervous system through various strategies, new choices become available for the neuro-muscular system, which can allow us to cultivate self-awareness around past behaviors, thoughts, and emotions. This gives us the opportunity to bring the nervous system's functionality back online so we can fully embrace life.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Part ONE
Foundations of Somatic Trauma Work
Part 1 establishes the theoretical framework for understanding trauma’s impact on the autonomic nervous system, attachment systems, and psychological well-being. Participants will explore neuroception, survival responses, and the critical role of co-regulation, with a special focus on the intersection of somatics, trauma, and social justice.
Part TWO
Somatic Tools for Nervous System Regulation
Building upon the foundational knowledge, Level 2 introduces bottom-up (somatic), brain-based and body-based techniques for resourcing the nervous system. Participants will learn practical somatic interventions for orienting, working with dissociativeness and dorsal vagal dissociation, and integrating sensory processing to support self- and co-regulation in healing.
Part THREE
Somatic Psychotherapy and Developmental Attachment
The final level delves into the neuromuscular-skeletal imprint of disrupted attachment and early relational trauma. Through an exploration of developmental movements, character structures, and survival adaptations, participants will gain tools to support clients in reclaiming their attachment needs, voice, and capacity for embodied connection.
This training is ideal for therapists, bodyworkers, and healing practitioners seeking a nuanced and embodied approach to trauma-informed care.
