It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
What will happen in Module One?
In this course, you will learn a relational approach to trauma recovery, how to understand what the client might need, and how to respond to different threat responses and trauma stories.
You will learn how to set an intention for a session, establish somatic resonance, and use both touch technique and verbal cues to safely somatize a client, repair the mind-split, and how to respond to spontaneous release. The curriculum has been developed with the intent not to re-traumatize, and to promote both internal and relational safety always.
