The Hummingbird’s* Journey:
Trauma-Sensitive Divorce Work
Beth Robins Roth is back! This training is a continuation of the training held on October 2, 2020, but attendance at that training is NOT a prerequisite for this one.
Divorce can be a traumatizing event and many enter the divorce process with unresolved trauma/PTSD. This training is designed to bring a psycho-physiological perspective to unresolved trauma.
This training will begin with a brief overview of Somatic Experiencing, emphasizing its interdisciplinary approach to understanding and healing trauma. The program will include a brief description of the neuroscience and physiology of unresolved trauma/PTSD, and then focus on recognizing behaviors that are trauma-driven. Nervous system self-regulation skills for members of the divorce team will be introduced and practiced, as well as on-the-spot techniques for divorce team professionals to effect nervous system co-regulation with their clients.
This is an interactive, experiential training. Teaching methods include brief lecture, experiential exercises, role-play demonstrations, case study anecdotes, and group discussion.
*The hummingbird is revered by indigenous peoples of North and South America for its courage, strength, and ability to make an epic journey for growth and evolution.
