Embodiment & Healing Developmental Trauma

A Somatic Resiliency Workshop

How do you work with individuals with attachment difficulties and who encounter repeated dysfunctional relationships? 

For many traumatized individuals who have experienced preverbal and/or developmental trauma, they are looking for ways to resolve re-enactment or symptomatic re-experiencing from trauma patterns and have new flexible internal and external responses in current relationships.

In this four full day somatic resiliency workshop, you will learn from embodiment expert Dr. Abi Blakeslee a dynamic tool kit of body-oriented psychophysiological approaches to stabilize early developmental symptoms of trauma as well as re-regulation the nervous system using interoceptive awareness techniques.

Who will benefit?

Social service, mental health and healthcare professionals who work with clients experiencing attachment and relational difficulties.

About the Trainer:

Dr Abi Blakeslee is senior faculty at the Somatic Experiencing® International and legacy faculty for Dr Peter Levine’s Ergos Institute for Somatic Education. Dr Blakeslee holds a PhD in Clinical and Somatic Psychology and is a licensed marriage and family therapist.

Her dissertation, with a committee that included Dr Daniel Siegel, generated original research on the role of implicit memory in healing trauma.

Dr Blakeslee integrates SE with clinical research, secondary trauma interventions, and the psychobiological principles of attachment and shock trauma. She treats individuals, couples, children and families in her clinical practice. Her most recent publication is in the Journal of Neuropsychology (Vol 5 Issue 1A) with Dr. Joseph Riordan and Dr. Peter Levine titled,“Toddler Trauma: Somatic Experiencing®, Attachment and the Neurophysiology of Dyadic Completion.” Another recent publication with co-author Dr. Glyndie Nickerson is featured in NeuroPeace, no.3, titled “The Neurophysiology of Individual and Collective Trauma.” This article outlines the effects of trauma on the nervous system and psychophysiology and offers practical tools to heal from traumatic experiences.
