Talk Description
We learn from the information we receive from our internal and external environment. Information from the world around us, within us, and between us. When this information leads to an individual perceiving threat there is a shift to survival and away from thriving. For a child to succeed in attending, socially interacting, storing positive memories, and participating in daily tasks; there must be efficient integration of their body, mind and spirit. This is disrupted for children presenting with trauma. Through understanding and interweaving the properties of nature, culture, and sensorimotor activities we can deepen therapeutic approaches to support trauma recovery. Children need the opportunity to connect and share their true unique selves. This presentation will be a journey of exploration and neuroscience, guiding participants through an experience to deepen the understanding of the power of such an approach. Participants will acquire knowledge and techniques to take forward into practice.
