Description
About This Summit
Empower your healing journey and learn to access your internal body wisdom, release the binds of trauma, and build resilience for yourself and others.
Gather with us live & online June 18th – 19th, 2022 for our “Somatic Trauma Healing Summit” with internationally recognized leaders in somatic-based approaches to trauma healing and recovery.
While traditional therapy focuses on verbal processing and cognitive meaning making, a somatic approach to healing trauma invites the individual into the wisdom of their body as the intuitive place of healing and well-being. Somatic Trauma Healing offers a paradigm shift, situating the individual as the expert of their own journey of healing, transformation, and wellbeing.
Our Somatic Trauma Healing Summit blends traditional wisdom and embodiment practices with contemporary neuroscience and psychology, supporting healing and transformation while working with every aspect of an individual— psychologically, psychically, spiritually, energetically, socially, and environmentally.
Dr. Peter Levine, creator of Somatic Experiencing says “Trauma is a fact of life. It does not have to be a life sentence.” In this Summit we will explore foundational tools of healing trauma from an embodied perspective to support the healing and transformation of trauma.
Based on the foundational principle that healing and integration happens through our bodies’ primal language of movement, breath, and sensation, the Somatic Trauma Healing Summit will explore a variety of somatic-based approaches to heal, and restore well-being for yourself and others.
This summit’s world-leading embodiment experts include: Dr. Peter Levine, Thomas Huebl, Jan Winhall, Dr. Albert Wong, Steve Hoskinson, Dr. Arielle Schwartz, Staci Haines, Lisa Dion, Dr. Angela Grayson, Dr. Ameet Aggarwal, Zeebha Khan, Kai Cheng Thom and Dr. Scott Lyons

Revolutionizing Addiction Treatment with The Felt Sense Polyvagal Model™
A 75-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
7:45am PDT (Los Angeles) / 10:45am ET (New York) / 3:45pm GMT (London) / 4:45pm CET (Paris) / Monday 12:45am AEST (Sydney)
Our current model of understanding addiction as a brain disease is failing. Rates are soaring and people are dying in the streets. We desperately need a fresh approach. One that addresses addiction and other trauma responses where they live, in the body. In this workshop we will explore the intersection of trauma and addiction and how to address both with an embodied approach.
The Felt Sense Polyvagal Model™ (FSPM) shifts the current pathologizing paradigm to a strength-based approach. Through the lens of Stephen Porges’ Polyvagal theory, addiction is seen as an adaptive stress response in our autonomic nervous system. Addictive behaviors are the bodies attempt to emotionally regulate by acting as propellers that facilitate neurophysiological shifts in our nervous system.
The model integrates Porges Polyvagal theory and Gendlin’s Felt Sense Focusing Oriented Psychotherapy enabling us to appreciate trauma/addictive behaviors as adapative responses in maladaptive environments. The FSPM provides a generic framework that can support any therapeutic modality.
The workshop will present an introduction to my book Treating Trauma and Addiction with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model, Routledge, 2021. Included is a description of the FSPM theoretical framework, an introduction to The Embodied Assessment and Treatment Tool™ and Carnes Three Circle Practice, a tool for working with addiction. Participants will also learn about Gendlin’s Focusing/Felt Sense practice. A mixture of didactic information, experiential practices, and case examples will guide the clinician in applying the model.
