One-Day Summit:
Healing Developmental Trauma
with Dr. Martha Eddy, Dr. Talia B. Shafir, Sergio Ocampo, Dr. Maureen Gallagher, Francine Kelley and Dr. Arielle Schwartz
This full-day summit can be attended via the on-demand recordings.
ABOUT THE SUMMIT
Gather with us online for our One-Day Summit to explore the power of somatics to heal developmental trauma and restore wholeness with internationally recognized leaders in somatic-based approaches to trauma healing and recovery.
In this One-Day online summit you’ll gain practical tools and insights into healing trauma, fostering secure relationships, enhancing regulation skills, and expanding resilience for yourself and others. We’ll explore how not just trauma is transmitted but also how to fully heal using the tools of somatic, body-centred therapies.
You will learn how trauma influences physical, emotional, and relational health across generations and discover somatic techniques to break these patterns. Plus discover embodiment practices that support self-regulation and co-regulation, and the power of somatic movement to address attachment defence processes’ relationship to trauma. We’ll also examine what resistance might be telling us about what is happening in the relational dynamic, and how to honor and work with what is revealed.
Ideal for therapists, coaches, and individuals on a healing journey, this summit provides a comprehensive understanding of how to compassionately work with the complex emotions, sensations and psychological states associated with developmental trauma.
Join us and discover the power of somatics to heal developmental trauma and support the return to wholeness for yourself and others.

Conquer the Echoes of the Past: How to Resolve Generational Trauma Somatically
A 75 MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
Trauma and Overwhelm is a burden that has plagued humanity historically. Its weight and detrimental impact can be felt throughout one's lifetime, but also reverberate through time, influencing descendants beyond genetic inheritance. Explore how trauma is truly transmitted, tending to re-enact suffering, conflict, broken relationships, physical disease, emotional suffering and lives not fully lived. In this offering, we will not only explore the insidious ways generational overwhelm affects us, but also how to fully heal using the tools of Somatic Therapy. This immersive experience offers a sacred experiential space for profound exploration and restoration, guiding participants toward healing and reclaiming wholeness from ancestral trauma. For therapists and healers, this offering offers an introduction on how to practically help clients heal somatically the repetitive wounds of intergenerational patterns and behaviors.

Healing Developmental Trauma with Inner Relationship Focusing: Finding a Felt Sense of Secure Attachment
A 75-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
Developmental trauma can result in insecure attachment to self and others. Inner Relationship Focusing is an embodied toolkit uniquely suited to addressing attachment wounds that lead to insecure attachment strategies. SIRF supports building a secure relationship with embodied partial self states, shifting internal working models of self and other from insecure to earned secure, while building regulation skills in support of embodied presence. By supporting the development of a secure relationship with self and partial self states in a deeply embodied way, regulation skills improve and range of resilience expands, supporting greater possibilities for repair of attachment related ruptures to self and others.

The Wisdom of “Resistance”: Honoring the Implicit No
A 75-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
One of the challenges in working with the impact of developmental trauma is when we meet what psychotherapy calls “resistance.” This workshop will explore, from a somatic perspective, the possibility that what we call resistance may be an attempt at setting boundaries, an implicit “No.” We will explore what resistance might be telling us about what is happening in the relational dynamic, and how to honor and work with what is revealed.
Dr. Arielle Schwartz
Polyvagal Perspectives on Developmental Trauma, Complex PTSD, & Dissociation: An Integrative Mind-Body Approach to Care
A 75 MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
Complex trauma occurs as a result of repeated or chronic exposure to threatening events from which escape is impossible. Within the context of developmental trauma, these events produce a unsolvable dilemma for the child who is caught between their biological drive for attachment and their survival based needs to escape a caregiver who is a source of threat. Individuals with Complex PTSD and early childhood developmental trauma are at greater risk for dissociation or emotional flooding; both of which can lead to re-traumatization if not handled well by treatment providers.
Within this talk, clinical psychologist and complex trauma treatment specialist, Dr. Arielle Schwartz, provides rationale for the value of polyvagal theory in the treatment of relational and attachment trauma. Polyvagal theory allows us to address the physiological roots that underlie physical and mental health symptoms. You will come away with a depth of understand about how to compassionately work with the emotions, sensations, and psychophysiological arousal that typically arise with developmental trauma and dissociative states.
