UK, GREATER MANCHESTER - Trauma-informed Practice for Sound Healers, Masha Bennett, Reddish Business Centre, 20 Nov 2024
This is a two day workshop covering both practical and theoretical aspects of working with clients who have experienced trauma, within the context of sound healing/sound therapy practice as well as more generally in a holistic therapy setting. A maximum of 10 places
WHO IS THE COURSE FOR?
Practitioners and healers working with any aspect of sound healing or sound therapy including the voice, gongs, singing bowls, drums and other instruments. It is also suitable for other holistic practitioners such as yoga teachers, massage and reiki therapists who do not necessarily use sound in their work, but may encounter traumatised clients where the treatment could potentially trigger a trauma reaction. This workshop can be counted towards annual CPD hours for members of the College of Sound Healing.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
* how to recognise the signs of trauma in your clients
* important differences between developmental trauma and shock trauma/PTSD
* the basic neuroscience of trauma and how to apply it in practice
* significance of Adverse Childhood Experiences
* the essential components on trauma healing
* why sound healing and some other holistic therapies may be particularly effective in releasing trauma and how it may also trigger traumatic reactions
* the risk of vicarious traumatisation in therapists and how to help to prevent it
* a range of simple techniques and approaches that will help both them and their clients stay safe and grounded during and after the session and in between sessions
* steps that need to be taken to assess and manage potential risk with a client who is in severe distress
* options for referral to trauma specialists and other mental health professionals
Please note: Attendance on this workshop does *not* qualify you to *treat* trauma (for that, you would need to undertake a much more extensive course of practical and theoretical study). What it *will* do is: (a) give you knowledge and resources to be a safer, more mindful practitioner when you work with people who may have been traumatised, and (b) help you facilitate your group and individual sessions to maximise opportunities for healing / minimise chances of re-traumatisation.
