How to Help Repair Insecure Attachment Using Movement

Coming Home to Self: Re-connecting after Developmental Trauma
A 75-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
“Trauma is not what happens to us. But what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.” —Peter A Levine, PhD
Adverse childhood experiences generate displacement, disembodiment, and shame. These experiences challenge our self worth, thwart our creativity, discourage us from embodying ourselves fully and inhibit us from living into our capacity to be in our true, full, authentic self expression.
At the heart of developmental trauma, are the wounds of repeatedly not being seen, not feeling a sense of worth, not realizing a sense of belonging. This can happen through neglect, abuse, displacement due to disaster, medical trauma, long separations from family/community systems, intergenerational trauma and systemic oppression.
We can grow into adults, have relationships (if desired), raise children (if desired), have gainful employment and still have a strong sense of not existing, not mattering, not having an inner sense of worth or sense of self.
In our time together we will define and explore the roots of developmental trauma and begin to understand the connection to complex physical health conditions in adulthood. We will also identify the unique, complex grief that is often left unidentified and unnamed when working with trauma and developmental trauma.
We will explore maps and tools that can help us understand why we might behave the way we or a loved one does at different times in the relationship. We will define and experientially explore somatic practices that can help reset the nervous system.
We will also review and practice experientially developmental milestones that might have been missed due to trauma or stress in the household.
Objectives:
Understand and recognize developmental trauma
Understand the nervous system responses to threat; fight, flight, freeze, appease and how these states impact and influence the body/mind mind as well as sense of self, sense of safety, and capacity for presence
Explore Towards and Away, Yes/No/Maybe
Explore ways of understanding how to relate to oneself and others differently
How to start co-creating relationships that support the healing of developmental trauma
How to create a real-time partnership with you Self: self restoration on the fly.
Euphrasia “Efu” Nyaki

Connecting to the Fountain that Never Dries
A 75 MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION

Dr. Albert Wong
1pm PDT (Los Angeles) / 4pm ET (New York) / 9pm BST (London) / 10pm CET (Paris) / 6am AEST (Sydney)
Healing Trauma: From Fragmentation to Embodiment
A 75 MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
How does trauma happen? And how might we heal? Join Dr. Albert Wong, the Director of the Trauma Certificate Program at Somatopia (www.somatopia.com), for an educational workshop that outlines the mechanism of trauma and illustrates how we can move from the fragmented aftermath of trauma back home into an integrated, embodied self. Trauma therapy from an embodied perspective invites us to reconnect with the oft-forgotten “felt sense” of the body and use the wisdom of the body to help guide a client from fragmentation to integration. This class will share some of the underlying principles of trauma therapy from an embodiment lens, including tools we can use with our clients, ourselves, and those we love.
Dr. Alayne Mikahere-Hall
2:30pm PDT (Los Angeles) / 5:30pm ET (New York) / 10:30pm BST (London) / 11:30pm CET (Paris) / 7:30am AEST (Sydney)
Cultural Landscapes of Secure Relationships through Indigenous Approaches to Therapy
A 75 MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
There is an expansive body of knowledge that explains and promotes the importance of secure attachments for the developing child. There is also growing recognition and demand by Indigenous people worldwide for healing interventions that are best suited for Indigenous people. Culturally congruent approaches to therapy are much needed for Māori who experience higher rates of mental health anguish and distress. This presentation will discuss new and emerging research that investigated attachment within the cultural landscape of Indigenous Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand. Findings from the research study Tūhono-First We Connect provide insights concerning traditional Māori healing practices for Māori children,
their mothers and their families.
