Description
This session invites renowned trauma expert, author, and founder of Khiron Clinics, Benjamin Fry, to share his journey from client to global advocate for somatic and nervous system-based trauma care. In candid conversation, Fry and Sam Quinlan will explore how lived experience, clinical innovation, and cutting-edge science converge to create scalable, humane trauma treatment models. Participants will gain actionable insights on Polyvagal-informed care, the global need for accessible trauma services, and practical pathways for integrating person-centered, bottom-up approaches in any context.
This session offers real-world learning for clinicians and leaders seeking to transform mental health across borders.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
-
Describe core models of nervous system regulation and healing, including somatic frameworks like Polyvagal theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, Brainspotting and Trauma-informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST), and analyze how these approaches expand upon and differ from traditional cognitive or top-down methods.
-
Analyze Benjamin Fry’s integration of lived experience, neuroscience, and clinical innovation in founding Khiron Clinics.
-
Apply principles of nervous system regulation and global accessibility to design trauma-informed care models in diverse practice settings.
Educational Goal
Participants will enhance their professional understanding of nervous system–based approaches to trauma treatment by exploring how Polyvagal theory and other somatic frameworks can be integrated into diverse clinical settings. Through this session, clinicians will develop greater sophistication in applying bottom-up, person-centered methods that promote safety, regulation, and healing across cultural and systemic contexts.
