Somatic Trauma Therapy is a very effective way of working with the physical and emotional distress that trauma can cause. It can be used by anyone working with individuals that display symptoms of trauma. On this short introduction we will cover;
* The causes and effects of trauma
* The physiology, what is happening in the body and how to describe it to a client in simple terms.
* Some basic skills that can be used when someone gets distressed during a session.
* How to take them through the experience so that they feel the work with you has been beneficial rather than retraumatising.
* Some ways to take your work a little deeper.
* Body focussing

Simonetta has over twenty five years of experience of working successfully with trauma. She is a qualified practitioner of both Somatic Experiencing© (Peter Levine) and Somatic Trauma Therapy (Babette Rothschild). Much of this model of working with trauma is informed by the work of Levine and Rothschild, leaders in the field of trauma resolution. If you have further interest there is a full weekend Introduction to Somatic Trauma Therapy which can lead to further training and certification. https://www.holistic-school.com/somatic-trauma-therapy/
