Workshop: Self-Care when Working with Trauma
Workshop
Session Description
Your own healing is a powerful contribution to the healing of everyone. As practitioners who witness and experience reparation, restoration, and recovery in others, we often forget our own healing in the process. The workshop introduces several expressive arts therapy practices that will take you through “movement, sounding, silence, and storytelling” and enhance your “circle of capacity” in work with challenging children, youth, and adults. We will explore gentle body awareness through several evidence-informed arts-based approaches to support regulation and rejuvenation of body, mind, and spirit. Using the Expressive Arts Therapy Autonomic Wheel, participants will be able to identify two restorative nervous system states of being—Fun and (Creative) Flow and apply hands-on, sensory-based experiences to “reset your nervous system.”
