Healing Trauma in the Body with Somatic Experiencing® & Energy Psychology
Whole Person Center, Magis Hall, Wah Yan College,

The treatment of trauma is a field full of challenges. Generally overlooked is the intrinsic relationship between trauma and powerful energy phenomena in the body. Understanding and utilizing these intimate relationships can provide therapeutic strategies that can provide important resources for traumatized clients and support the genuine transformation of traumatic experience.
The states of horror and terror share essential structural and psychophysiological roots with those that underly transformative states such as awe, presence, and joy. The bridging and owning of the body's survival capacities helps to shift reactions to threat from freezing and constriction, which can lead to problems such as chronic pain and immune dysfunction, to vitality and aliveness.
This workshop will present methods drawn from the models of Somatic Experiencing® and Energy Psychology that can help access and integrate the movement of subtle energies in the nervous system. As we work with a broad menu of techniques, participants will learn to help clients gradually access and assimilate the instinctual survival and regulating responses embedded within trauma in order to catalyze authentic spiritual, physiological, cognitive, and emotional transformation.
The format will include lecture, discussion, case consultation, and live and video demonstration. Experiential exercises will be emphasized for hands-on learning. Participants are urged to bring their most difficult cases for discussion and review.

Healing for Healers
with Noelle Poncelet
Esalen Institute, Big Sur, CA
Contact: Esalen, web: www.esalen.org
Phone: 831-667-3000;
Email: info@esalen.org
In our work devoted to caring for the multifaceted needs of others, we encounter fear and anxiety, emotional and physical suffering, and desperation and urgency. Moreover, our sensitivity often makes us react strongly to daily signs that our world is in crisis. Over time, these demands take their toll in the form of unrelenting stress, compassion and empathy fatigue, and eventual burnout.
This workshop will focus on developing skills for spiritual, emotional, and physical renewal. Experiential exercises will help to identify ways of tapping into unlimited inner resources that maximize personal growth and creativity for healers. These exercises encompass training in mindfulness meditation, access to rejuvenating playful states, and uses of self-hypnosis to transmute the tyranny of clock time into artful self-expression and ritual. The workshop will also present practices for identifying and removing obstacles that limit our attention to self-care, including voice dialogue, ego-state therapy, and energy psychology methods.
This mini-retreat/workshop weekend is designed for healers from all traditions who would like to make a deeper commitment to taking care of heart, spirit, body, and mind.

Reversing the Course of Chronic Pain
The Psychology of Health, Immunity and Disease Conference

Tel: 1-800-743-2226 (outside the US call: 860-456-1153)
Although 1 in 3 adults over 50 are affected significantly by pain, standard treatments for chronic pain often fail because they center on medications that over-treat, under-treat, or further complicate the pain problem. This workshop will help participants learn to identify and resolve specific types of inner conflicts related to pain, assist in relieving distress related to past traumatic stress that is often held in the body as a constriction, and treat imbalances related to the body's fight/flight response. Methods will be drawn from hypnotic, Somatic Experiencing® , and Energy Psychology traditions.
