Canadian Foundation for Trauma Research and Education

Event Details

Significant overwhelming events at anytime in one's life such as motor vehicle accidents, surgeries, or exposure to violence, can result in changes in the nervous system that negatively impact the way a person feels and relates to others. Self Regulation Therapy® (SRT) is a psychophysiological approach aimed at diminishing dysregulation in the nervous system resulting from traumatic events, while increasing neural pathways connected to contentment and joy. SRT facilitates an integration of overwhelming events and returns balance to the nervous system.This training is recommended for individuals who work with trauma including: counselors, psychotherapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, physicians, massage therapists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and nurses.

Foundation Level is nine days and is taught in three modules during which you will learn basic psychophysiological treatment skills that include:

• Research on the psychophysiology of trauma and neurobiological development
• Understanding and treatment of traumatic symptoms from the perspective of the autonomic nervous system
• Somatic skills of containment, grounding, centering, resourcing, boundaries, attunement
• Assessment and treatment of developmental derailments that impede self-regulation
• Tracking and titration skills to renegotiate unresolved fight, flight, and freeze
• Integration of psychophysiological work into your current therapeutic approach.
