By Rich Simon It seems astonishing that even just two or three decades ago, parents not only pretty much knew what was expected of them to turn their offspring into civilized adults, but they could actually count on society to back them up. Even more astounding, kids seemed to understand this, too.

This workshop will explore the rich somatic component that drives human behavior and show you how to tap into this implicit self in your clinical practice.
Ronald Alexander • Saturday All Day
Trauma lives in our bodies, as well as in our minds---and so does healing. This workshop will explore the psychophysiological aspects of trauma and healing, providing specific tools to help shift clients away from the frozen, high-alert psychophysiological state characteristic of trauma and activate the healing-conducive
Janina Fisher • Saturday Afternoon
Many clients with harsh or traumatic childhood histories suffer physical pain that defies medical diagnosis and conventional treatments. Often our efforts to address the trauma-related emotional issues are frustrated by their current physical problems. What if the pain symptoms and treatment resistance are actually both expressions of their early trauma?
Christine Courtois • Sunday All Day
Treating clients suffering from the multilayered impact of complex trauma---often associated with prolonged, severe childhood abuse---can be the most challenging, baffling work we do, compounded by fact that the treatment options change constantly. In this workshop, we’ll discuss the latest findings about complex trauma and their clinical
