Discover the power of a unified somatic approach to EMDR therapy to address the psychological and physiological aspects of trauma. When brought together these two cutting-edge modalities help process traumatic memories and reduce emotional distress, while reconnecting with the body and restoring a sense of safety and agency.
Healing requires more than insight. It calls for engaging the body directly, restoring the rhythms of regulation, and reestablishing neural pathways of safety and connection.
In this powerful weekend immersion, three internationally renowned leaders — Dr. Bessel van der Kolk (author of The Body Keeps the Score), Licia Sky (somatic educator and co-founder of the Trauma Research Foundation), and Dr. Scott Lyons (clinical psychologist and founder of The Embody Lab) — will guide you into the cutting-edge somatic science of trauma recovery. Together, they will weave neuroscience, embodied practice, and experiential learning to demonstrate how trauma can be transformed when the body becomes central to healing.
Trauma shapes how the nervous system detects safety and danger.
When that detection system becomes biased toward threat, survival responses interrupt connection — reinforcing the original wound, altering perception, and maintaining dysregulation.
This Polyvagal Trauma Therapy Certificate trains you to read, understand, and reorganize those autonomic patterns so clients can safely move from protection into access to the full range of human experience — connection, curiosity, intimacy, and coherent engagement — where healing and transformation become possible.
