You are invited for a workshop led by Karin Ritchie (SEP) based on the principles of Somatic Experiencing®.

The workshop will include theory as well as experiential understanding.

This workshop is for anyone who would like to understand the nervous system better, in order to support themselves or clients with a better state of wellbeing through self-regulation and co-regulation.

The aim of the workshop is to share practical knowledge and tools to help highly agitated, anxious, dysregulated people, into a state of regulation, receptivity and calm.

This experiential workshop is a blend of nervous system education, felt experiences, demos and practical tools which can be used immediately. It is based on the principles of Somatic Experiencing®.

At the end of this workshop you will have a better understanding of:

  • The language of sensation and how it relates to supporting self regulation and co regulation
  • Finding helpful language for the person’s own experience
  • Fundamentals of Polyvagal Theory
  • The relationship between co-dependency and the nervous system
  • How to be able to make sure of giving better support to the nervous system through posture, language and facial expression
  • The use of grounding, orienting and resourcing to support embodiment and the re-organisation of the nervous system
  • How to work with feelings like fear, anger, shame and vulnerability
  • The wisdom and capacity of the body to restore trust, wellbeing and resilience
  • How to recognise when someone is in a fight, flight , fawn or freeze response and how to move them out of this in a way that isn’t re-traumatising
