THE BODY KEEPS THE SCORE Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma

RESEARCH FOR RECOVERY
If you’re a health professional, therapist, yoga instructor, or simply want to deepen your understanding of how trauma impacts the brain, mind, and body, this program will immerse you into all the latest science on healing trauma.
Overcoming trauma means fully engaging in the present without being hijacked by survival-related emotions and sensations. Success means accepting trauma-induced thoughts and feelings—without reentering the past. Recovery depends on physical experiences that contradict sensations and feelings of helplessness and disconnection. You'll learn how overwhelming experiences change the capacity for self-regulation, and how imprints of trauma are held in the body. This is an excellent overview of effective trauma interventions, including EMDR, yoga and sensorimotor processing, Internal Family Systems, and neurofeedback. You’ll come away knowing more about how to find the right treatments for each individual.
