Online Sunday, May 23rd, 10 AM – 5 PM PDT (detailed schedule below)
During this new workshop, Peter A Levine, Ph.D., trauma expert and the developer of Somatic Experiencing (SE™), will define and demonstrate ways to work with trauma, combining Focus Unit: Photic and Audio Therapy with basic SE principles, while Andreanna Rainville, AKA Nurse Andi, will share detox concepts and support strategies anyone can implement.
As you know, trauma can seriously impair a person’s ability to function with resilience and ease and live in the here-and-now.
Origins of trauma:
Trauma may result from a wide variety of stressors such as accidents, invasive medical procedures, assaults, emotional and physical abuse, neglect, oppression, natural disasters, or the corrosive stressors of ongoing fear, conflict, and chronic shaming.
Stress and trauma of all intensities can include a spectrum of lingering symptoms such as hypervigilance, anxiety, depression, addiction, irritability, violence, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, IBS and poor digestion, insomnia, migraines, and other stress-related conditions.
Although trauma responses can protect us in times of need, they can also linger, harming not only ourselves but our loved ones as well.
Trauma can:
Interfere with our nervous system's normal function, disrupting a healthy Vagal tone, and potentially interfering with healthy relationships.
Adversely alter our epigenetic transmission that passes onto the next generation, like our ancestors' trauma responses may have passed along.
Somatic Experiencing helps individuals create new experiences in their bodies, which contradict those of tension and overwhelming helplessness.
Focus Unit: Photic and Audio Therapy™
The Focus System improves brain function by implementing the iLs method: Brain and Body Integration through Multisensory Input.
The Focus System is a clinical-level intervention designed for home use, consisting of therapeutically treated music combined with fun movement activities and, when ready, cognitive challenges to further activate brain networks.
The program provides simultaneous multisensory input to help develop new and reinforce existing pathways governing the organization of the body and brain function.
Therapeutic music is delivered via iLs’ air and bone conduction headphones, providing auditory input to the brain and sensory input to the body.
Movement activities, customizable for all levels, provide additional sensory and motor input for body organization.
Cognitive activities, added later, challenge the brain to process multiple pieces of simultaneous information, which is reflective of demands required of the brain in our day-to-day world.
90% of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder or Sensory Processing Disorder saw a great improvement in sensory processing and motor coordination by using the Focus System home program, in addition to increased emotional regulation. *integratedlistening.com
