The Body Remembers: A Workshop on Trauma & Healing

This comprehensive workshop offers valuable insights into trauma and its impact on the healing process. Grounded in the latest research in interpersonal neurobiology, we’ll explore how trauma shapes both the brain and body—and how healing becomes possible through attuned, body-based support.

Combining didactic learning with experiential exercises, this training is designed to support deeper integration of knowledge. You'll leave with practical tools, an expanded understanding of trauma-informed principles, and greater confidence in supporting others through their healing journeys.

My Body Remembers, Too: A Workshop on Vicarious Trauma

How do we stay open, compassionate, and present when faced with others’ pain and challenging behaviours—without becoming traumatized ourselves?

This semi-structured workshop invites participants to reflect on their own experiences while deepening their understanding of vicarious trauma, nervous system stress responses, and the personal cost of holding space for others. Through a combination of didactic learning and experiential practices, we will explore what it means to work within a trauma-informed framework, and how to care for ourselves while caring for others.

  • Foundations of Early Development – Explore how early attachment and developmental experiences shape the way we relate and respond in helping roles

  • Personal History in Practice – Reflect on how your own lived experiences may be awakened or mirrored in your work with others
