ABOUT THIS MASTER CLASS
When we’re suffering from chronic pain or ongoing health conditions it’s very easy to get caught up in symptom management and treatment. This process can be exhausting and frustrating with a sense of helplessness as we suffer through an endless array of unpredictable symptoms. These conditions include:
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)
Fibromyalgia
POTTS (rapid heartbeat and fainting)
Rapid Heart Rate
Heart Arrhythmias
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
Chronic pain, Regional Complex Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
Migraines
Vertigo
Skin Conditions
Asthma
Various Auto-immune Disorders
Rather than chasing after individual symptoms, Somatic Experiencing® uncovers the underlying stress conditions that are the root cause of this dysregulation. If these stress conditions can be identified, then they can be effectively treated by utilizing special SE™ techniques.
In this Master Class, Dr. Peter Levine will explore how to identify the syndromes of core dysregulation, understand their coupling dynamics, and learn how to work with them using Polyvagal Theory as a guide. You’ll explore how to identify the various symptoms of Syndromes & Chronic Pain and learn tools to guide those suffering through chronic pain towards vitality.
