A somatic approach to dealing with and overcoming trauma and PTSD

Trauma overwhelms the nervous system, trapping clients in a cycle of pain and despair that not only seems inescapable, but ends up depriving them of all vital energy. According to Peter Levine, performing a re-regulation of the nervous system is the only solution to allow customers to free themselves from this cycle, before they even start processing the traumatic experiences. Based on the foundations of Stephen Porges' Polyvagal Theory, directives and body-orientedtechniques developed by Levine can be integrated into a wide range of therapeutic modalities and used to treat all types of traumafrom car accidents to surgery, from child abuse to experiences of violence and natural disasters.

In a nutshell, trauma implies "rigidity"and pain, while 'flow' implies a sense of liberation and freedom to live. During the five sessions with Ray, Levine introduces a series of techniques essential to the trauma resolutionwhich greatly improve the Tourette syndrome-like symptomatology, as well as the client's general suffering and emotional outlook.

This video will allow clinicians to closely observe the work done by this great trauma expert, almost as if they were sitting next to him, in front of Ray. In this way, they will have the opportunity to create their own repertoire of therapeutic techniques, as well as to strengthen theclinical efficacy of working with traumatised clients who undertake a path of healing.
