SUMMARY:The Embodiment of Trauma: Somatic Healing Methods | In-Person
DESCRIPTION:The Embodiment of Trauma: Somatic Healing Methods | In-Person | Friday\, July 11\, 2025 | 9:00 am to 3:00 pm | Presented by Becky Carter\, LCPC. \nREGISTER HERE!\nFREE: 5 IDFPR CEU for LSW/LCSW\, LPC/LCPC\, Psychologists and IAODAPCA \nSUMMARY\n \nLeading trauma experts have been researching the importance of working with the nervous system and body in response to trauma for several years. As we shift to more decolonizing and humanizing models of therapy\, considering and attending to the embodied experience of trauma is necessary. The idea of somatic therapy can seem overwhelming\, as it asks practitioners to track nearly unnoticeable shifts in posture\, physiology\, and movement. However\, when the embodiment of trauma is not considered we risk missing crucial elements of our client’s internal resources and trauma and stress-based reflexive patterns. \nOBJECTIVES\n \nParticipants will learn basic concepts of somatic experiencing including resourcing and regulation techniques. We will discuss how to use body-based\, polyvagal interventions – including movement\, interoception\, titration\, visualization\, and other somatic exercises to facilitate the healing of trauma. The training will also address the importance of assessing the therapist’s own nervous system and embodied experience in the therapeutic process. \nPRESENTER \nBecky Carter\, LCPC\, is a biracial\, cisgender\, transracially adopted female with West African and Sicilian ancestors. She has two black adopted children. Becky has been a trauma therapist for over 20 years helping heal the wounds of relational trauma that occur in-utero and beyond. She is trained in Somatic Experiencing\, Internal Family Systems\, Transformative Touch Therapy for the treatment of Developmental Trauma\, and in the Treatment of Complex Trauma and Dissociation. \nBecky works with adults\, teens\, couples\, and groups with expertise in healing the wounds associated with Racial Trauma\, Complex Trauma and Dissociation\, Sexual Trauma and Issues of Trauma and Loss in Adoption. Becky facilitates groups for Male Survivors of Sexual Trauma. She also provides support and community education on Racial Trauma and Decolonizing Therapy Methods; with focus on the somatic impact of the chronic and sustained experience of oppression.
