Two Exclusive Video Trainings:
Somatics in a Time of Overwhelm:
An Embodied Approach to Sustaining Change
Embodied Healing for Individual and Systemic Trauma:
The Three Core Needs
Therapists are busier than ever helping clients process the daily stress and trauma of the past few years. New times call for new tools which help clients navigate individual and collective overwhelm so they find healing.

In this focused 10-minute introduction with Staci, you’ll learn about:

  • The unique intersection between climate change, social justice, and Somatics. 
  • The three components of Somatics as a practice and a methodology. 
  • An example Somatics exercise you can try today to help calm overwhelm. (This is shared around minute 7).
In Somatics, we explore the adaptive strategies that are often the product of individual or systemic trauma. Although these old patterns once served a useful purpose, ultimately, they keep clients stuck in past pain and ways of being that no longer serve them.

In this second part to the introduction to Somatics with Staci, we’ll explore: 

  • The impact of trauma on the three inherent, core needs in order to feel at home in our bodies.
  • How to help clients overcome the fear of feeling more so they can meet the deeper inherent need of mutuality and belonging. 
  • A Somatics exercise to help clients begin rebuilding their inherent sense of dignity
