Breathwork for Regulation and Trauma Resolution

Description

Trauma-informed breathwork for client care and your own resilience

How do we help clients regulate when they experience overwhelming emotions or sensations?

And just as importantly, how do we as therapists regulate ourselves so that we remain grounded and present enough to support clients through these challenges?

One of the most effective and accessible tools we have for both client and ourselves is the breath.

In this highly experiential workshop you will:

• Learn about the main categories of breathwork and how each of them can be used to support regulation and resilience

• Practice simple but powerful techniques you can use immediately to help clients (and yourself) settle, co-regulate and recover between sessions

• Explore how breathwork can safely complement and deepen your existing therapeutic approach

• Experience a longer Conscious Connected Breath (CCB) journey for your own well-being to gain an embodied understanding of the potential for trauma resolution.

Through our breath we can directly impact our nervous system state, to up or down regulate. We can learn how to bring calm to our nervous system and how to use our breath to build resilience.

Once we help a client regulate their nervous system, we can then go deeper with breathwork into the unconscious, to open the door to deeper integration of trauma and unresolved experience.

The realm of breathwork can be very confusing, as there are so many different approaches and levels of safety. This workshop will demystify and clarify what’s appropriate for therapeutic use, so you leave with practical skills and a clear sense of where breathwork can add value to your client work.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the workshop you will:

• Understand how to use the breath to help clients regulate their nervous system.

• Feel confident guiding a range of practical breathwork tools in a therapeutic context.

• Recognise the role of Conscious Connected Breathing in trauma resolution and how it differs from regulating practices.

• Explore how breathwork may be integrated with your current modality.

• Experience a 30-minute Conscious Connected Breath session for your own resilience and wellbeing.
