Trauma Informed Care & The Nervous System | 3 CEUs

$140.00

A trauma-informed approach is not just about what we do—it’s about how we show up. This training explores the connection between trauma, the nervous system, and holistic healing, emphasizing embodied trauma-informed care to cultivate safe, regulated healing spaces.

Participants will examine shock trauma, developmental trauma, and systemic trauma, exploring how these experiences shape nervous system responses, self-regulation, and perception of safety. They will gain a deeper understanding of dysregulation, polyvagal theory, and the role of self-awareness in co-regulation.

Beyond theory, the training focuses on practical self-regulation strategies that help participants model grounding, centering, and nervous system stabilization techniques in their professional work. Movement-based and somatic practices, including breathwork, yoga, and sound healing, are integrated to support nervous system regulation.

Participants will leave with tangible strategies to incorporate trauma-sensitive practices into their work.
