Treasure's in the Trigger: Somatic Tools to Access Growth through Triggers

Triggers are both incredibly challenging, and an opportunity for healing and transformation. As someone who experienced debilitating triggers due to complex trauma, I've created my own process to be with them, while honoring my body and spirit. In this workshop, we'll dive into understanding triggers and accessing their healing and growth potentials through powerful somatic tools that address our sensations, emotions and memories. You'll be encouraged to go at your own pace as you dive into the depths of aliveness that is available when you can make space for a trigger.

The workshop is based on the exact 3 step process I have guided thousands through in rewiring their nervous system impacted by complex trauma:

1. Regulate: use somatic practices of breath, sound and movement connected to felt sense in the body to bring the body into an experience of safety while triggered
2. Feel: feel the underlying, trauma-driven emotions from a place of safety
3. Heal: connect with abandonment wounds and childhood adaptive parts to help them heal and experience the safety of the present

You will leave with: an understanding of why certain situations activate you so intensely, in a compassionate, self-loving way; recognition of your body's unique signs of activation; practical somatic nervous-system regulation tools you can use for the rest of your life; the deeper emotional patterns beneath your triggers; an inner-child, parts-work inspired process for responding to triggers differently; and a concrete, repeatable process that transforms triggers (anxiety, overwhelm, freeze) into aliveness.
