Description
This is a three-hour experiential training for clinicians who want to learn and practice techniques, interweaving strategies from attachment theory & somatic experiencing.
Many clients request, need and are ready for deeper work on core issues & triggers of their emotional pain. These strategies can aid therapists and their clients learn to negotiate the intensity of a traumatic experience and excavate energy from the body.
