Description

  • 5 core somatic practices to address burdens of trauma
  • How inner parts use the body to protect or tell their story
  • Clear step-by-step instructions
  • For newcomers or experienced practitioners

IFS therapy has transformed trauma treatment giving clients a better way to heal from their emotional wounds.

But trauma also lives in the body. And their parts use the body to protect or tell their story

… chronic tension from parts that constantly feel threatened. Suppressed or scared parts expressing themselves as unexplained physical pain.

That’s where somatic parts work comes in.

Because with it you can work with parts that can keep clients stuck in trauma’s grasp PLUS safety access and release the trauma burdens stored in their bodies.

And now in this 2-day live webinar, you can start using an integrative parts work and body-based approach in your practice.

Join Marcella Cox a level 3 trained IFS therapist on the teaching staff of Susan McConnell, developer of Somatic IFS.

She’ll make it easy to integrate somatic therapy elements from movement, breathwork and more with the flow of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) modal and give you instantly usable techniques so you can:

  • Help clients integrate different parts into a cohesive whole
  • Deepen clients’ understanding of how internal parts interact with bodily experiences
  • Use somatic methods to access and safely release trauma held in the body
  • Strengthen clients’ ability to cope with stress through enhanced mind-body resilience
  • And much more!

So don’t wait to start using a somatic parts work approach that will transform your practice and your clients’ lives.
