All trauma involves an encounter with threat and, hence, a touch with death. However, some individuals actually experience states of death from which they are revived. In fact, some of the deepest and seemingly most intractable trauma symptoms occur with clients who become “stuck” in these profoundly altered states of consciousness that emerged out of a near death experience (NDE).
Every year, in the USA alone, over 50 million people undergo surgery and other invasive medical procedures, often with powerful dissociative and amnesic agents. Many individuals experience partial (or full) awakening during these procedures. These terrifying ordeals can create ruptures deep in consciousness; these often go far beyond our conscious/verbal capacity, making these traumas difficult to access and heal.
According to the Near Death Experience Research Foundation, 774 varied NDEs occur every day. Often debilitating, these same near death experiences hold the extraordinary potential for deep, positive, and enduring personal and spiritual transformation if they receive proper guidance and support.
The two-part EOTN series addresses how to apply Somatic Experiencing® (SE™) principles to a variety of near death experiences, including but not limited to: drowning, vehicular accidents, physical attacks, illness, and surgery. SE techniques applicable to a wide variety of traumatic experiences are not always sufficient to treat trauma related to NDEs, and Eye of the Needle work is vital to complex cases demanding the most dedicated and skilled practitioners of SE.
EOTN I & II Learning Objectives
Cultivate and refine perceptual skills and practical tools.
Track autonomic nervous system shifts.
Develop theoretical and practical framework to access dissociated and dislocated altered states of consciousness and liberate problematic fixations.
Practice the skills needed to weave dislocated conscious (and unconscious) states together, and then move through the shock core.
Identify surgical trauma symptoms and partial awakening states from anesthesia.
Alternate approaches to working with different types of anesthesia.
Using SE, recommend a proper pain management and anesthesia protocol for reducing the chances of trauma related to surgery.
Explore working with post ICU debilitation.
Resolve difficult somatic symptoms by working with NDEs.
Interact with the mythopoetic plane.
Enable authentic spiritual experiences, including NDEs.
Learn how to take a client intake from an individual with possible unprocessed NDE states and/or anesthesia trauma.
