Grounded in somatic psychology and trauma-informed care, these experiential trainings are designed for care teams, clinicians, educators, and helping professionals.

Each workshop offers:

• Practical tools for emotional regulation and boundary clarity
• Strategies for embodied presence and nervous system awareness
• Support for navigating burnout and relational intensity

Merging vs. Joining: For helpers who care deeply and feel it deeply

Stay empathic without burning out. This powerful training helps clinicians and caregivers in high-intensity settings recognize when emotional boundaries blur—and teaches practical somatic tools to stay grounded, clear, and resilient.

Participants will leave with a felt sense of healthy boundaries—not just a theoretical one—and actionable strategies to support personal sustainability and client empowerment.

What we’ll cover:

• The difference between merging (empathic over-involvement) and joining (clear, attuned presence)
• Somatic tools to detect and reset boundary blurring in real time
• Red flags that signal emotional over-identification
• Structured strategies for holding boundaries in fast-paced, high-stakes environments

Understanding the Freeze Response: A Nervous System-Informed Approach to Trauma, Disengagement, and Shutdown

Clients who seem disengaged or unmotivated are often stuck in a trauma response—not resistant, but frozen. This training helps clinicians and care teams recognize freeze for what it is: a biologically driven survival state. Learn to identify signs like dissociation or collapse, apply somatic tools to support nervous system re-regulation, and reduce shame while rebuilding trust and connection. Perfect for teams facing shutdown, avoidance, or emotional disconnect in their work.

This training introduces a somatic, nervous system-informed framework to help professionals recognize and skillfully support clients experiencing freeze.

What we’ll cover:

• Identifying freeze responses like dissociation, fawning, or collapse

• Understand the survival function behind shutdown behavior

• Apply somatic tools to support re-regulation

• Reduce shame and increase self-compassion

• Respond to client disengagement with presence and attunement

Felt Trust vs Fear Story: Attachment in the Clinical Setting

When clients seek connection through urgency or emotional intensity, clinicians can feel overwhelmed or stuck. Without the right tools, this can overwhelm clinicians and strain therapeutic rapport. This training offers practical, somatic tools to help teams navigate attachment dynamics with more clarity, stability, and presence—supporting both client regulation and provider resilience. 

Learn how to recognize and work with attachment patterns using somatic awareness and storytelling to foster emotional safety and co-regulation. Perfect for providers feeling stretched by relational intensity or emotional urgency in their work.

What we’ll cover:

• Signs of anxious or insecure attachment in therapy

• How storytelling and pacing support emotional integration

• Somatic tracking to co-regulate and stabilize client states

• Breath, tone, and movement tools to build secure relationships

• Strategies for staying grounded with emotionally activated clients
