LIVE & ONLINE AUGUST 6TH, 2024 | 12PM – 1:30PM ET
ABOUT THIS MASTER CLASS
Enhance your personal and professional practice—Somatic Self Touch is a simple and highly effective way of bringing immediate relief and support to emotional and physical suffering.
Using targeted self-contact in areas where emotional and bodily tension is focused, individuals experiencing emotional overwhelm and trauma can find self-regulation and experience accelerated results in somatic and conventional therapy.
In this Master Class, participants will gain valuable skills to find significant support during challenging emotional states, such as anger, rage, fear, terror, disembodiment, and numbness. Detailed instruction on self-contact techniques, combined with a deep understanding of the embodiment of emotions, will equip participants to easily navigate the process of unwinding deeply held patterns of emotional and physical distress.
For therapists and healers, these measured interventions are a must in addressing trauma and emotional suffering with greater ease and safety. Somatic Self Touch eliminates the need for direct physical contact with clients while reaping the benefits of therapeutic touch. Moreover, for anyone experiencing stress or overwhelm, embracing supportive self-contact practices can expedite the journey toward self-regulation beyond conventional methods.
