A Multidimensional Approach to Trauma: Body, Mind and Spirit Alignment and Why it Matters

Presenters: Judy Choix, LMHC and Matthew Whaley, LCSW

The body, mind, and psyche have a natural hierarchy that, when aligned, naturally orients the system toward health. When this happens, we are able to regulate and experience connection, support, and "flow" in daily life. We suffer and have a crisis in life not because we are broken, but because we are out of alignment and/or disconnected somewhere in this multi-dimensional field.

Through a Gestalt lens, using field theory and neuroscience, this workshop proposes a multi-dimensional diagnostic model for identifying what trauma looks like in a client's body, mind, and psyche, and offers concrete methods of treatment to restore vitality and wholeness.  For a more detailed, day-by-day description of this course, click here.
