Somatization refers to the process of experiencing and expressing psychological distress through physical symptoms. It is a phenomenon where individuals present with multiple, persistent, and often unexplained physical complaints that are not fully accounted for by underlying medical conditions. As humans, we store memories, experiences, and emotions on a cellular level. Somatic approaches focus on body awareness and how to cultivate it in and around the body. Providing clients with interventions to address how trauma is stored and experienced in the body is essential. This training will present an overview of how trauma is experienced in the body. Specific somatic interventions such as resourcing, grounding, dual awareness, and sequencing will be presented. Learners will view the application of somatic interventions by analyzing case studies and video demonstrations. Discover methods to help your clients release trauma and negative emotions from the body through a trauma-informed care lens.
