Trauma is anything that overwhelms our ability to cope. Frequently, people approach healing trauma as a psychological problem. That can be useful, but this webinar will explore how relating to body physiology can help us re-connect to safety.

The most basic decision a human being is making is 'Am I Safe?'. If there is perception of danger, or the habit of feeling unsafe, we can get stuck in primitive defence cascades.

Living every day as if it is an emergency, endlessly turning on reflexes of 'fight-or-flight' or 'freeze', is exhausting. We will explore bottom up approaches to feeling safe. There are lots of simple tools and principles that help turn down the volume on triggering danger messages. 

Steve Haines is author of the best selling Really Strange series. Trauma is Really Strange is far and away the best selling book in the series, people really want to learn about what is happening when we feel overwhelmed. 

Join this webinar to explore what you can do change your feelings of speeding up to survive or shutting down to survive. Learn how you can support others to find agency and choice in meeting their most difficult stories. 

The first hour will be an interactive talk on trauma. It is suitable for people affected by trauma or therapists working with trauma.

The last half hour will be explore about using Relational Touch and embodied approaches to overwhelm. This section is aimed at people interested in training with Body College in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
