Welcome to Jungian Somatics™: Movement for Trauma - January 2025
Training dates:
January 6, 13, 20, 27
February 24
March 3, 10, 17
How To Use The Learning Landing Page:
You will have access to this page for ONE MONTH after the training completion date. After that date, you will no longer have access. Please download, bookmark or save any materials on this page, including the Zoom recordings, prior to that date as we will not be able to provide access after that time.
Each week we will list additional resources on this page for you to watch or read prior to the next week’s session. So, for example, Week One’s work is to be completed prior to that session.
As part of this course, you have access to the classic Movement for Trauma manual to supplement your learning. Download it here.
DISCLAIMER:
*This course is not a replacement for personal therapy. This journey requires self-responsibility with minimal support. It is not recommended for individuals currently facing significant emotional or physical stress, or trauma. By participating, you acknowledge that you possess stable emotional, physical, and mental well-being, enabling you to manage anything that may arise for processing or integration. We are not available for psychotherapeutic or psychoanalytic support outside sessions. If you experience any distress or overwhelm during or after these sessions, you are agreeing to consult personal and qualified mental health care support for yourself.

For Additional Exploration: Practice the exercises from this session on your own. Allow for 2 -3 minutes (timed) of spontaneous writing afterwards from whatever feeling tone becomes present. Image the feeling is writing and let your hand move over the page without thinking. Also, try practicing this with a client, family member or friend and observe what it’s like for you to hold space for someone to explore without trying to fix anything (practicing informed consent). Bring an experimental attitude to this.
