Healing After Trauma (3/4)

Healing After Trauma (3/4) – 4-Part Series

Dr. Rassamee Ling and Amy Ruth

This is a didactic 4-part series. Stress impacts us all – trauma occurs when stressful events or situations overwhelm our system, impeding healing and recovery. Trauma essentially results from circumstances that are too fast, too much, or too soon.

In this GMV we will look at the physiology of trauma and introduce tools for self-regulation such as simple Qigong-based movements, breathwork, visualizations, strategies, etc.

This GMV is designed as a 4-week series – you can join any class:

Healing after Trauma session 1: What is trauma? Why somatic strategies? Inviting cues from your body: SIBAM

Healing after Trauma session 2: Nervous System roles (Polyvagal theory)

Healing after Trauma session 3: Working with resilience strategies and connecting to somatic sovereignty

Healing after Trauma session 4: Humans as relational beings; impact of environment, attachment theory, and healthy boundaries on trauma
