Learn to work with complex trauma and syndromes. Expand on the use of touch in SE practice. Typically consists of two 6-day live training modules, spaced 4 to 6 months apart.

• Learn about the importance of stabilization when working with complex trauma
• Explore the SE concept of “coherence” in working with complex trauma
• Refine touch skills for supporting containment and coherence
• Learn about the interrelationship between dysregulation of the ANS and the SE model of syndromes (non-reciprocal relationship between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems)
• Develop a deeper understanding of the Polyvagal Theory as it relates to working with syndromes
• Refine the necessary SE skills of “titration” and “pendulation” when working with highly sensitive and syndromal clients
• Learn the SE model for working with the eyes
• Develop SE touch-based skills for working with different categories of trauma
• Understand how SE uses joints, body diaphragms, and the viscera to access ANS responses and to support completion of incomplete survival responses
• Explore scope-of-practice issues relating to the integration of SE and SE touch into professional practice
