Trauma and the Body
Integrating Neuroscience and Somatic Wisdom for Deep Therapeutic Change
With Janina Fisher, P.h.D
Unlock Body-Centered Techniques to Heal Your Clients from Trauma's Lasting Effects
The impact of trauma goes beyond the mind—it profoundly shapes the nervous system, emotional responses, and even bodily sensations. Understanding exactly how trauma lives in the body and using practical body-centered techniques can dramatically increase your effectiveness as a therapist.
Join renowned trauma expert Janina Fisher, PhD, in this transformative two-part mini-course designed to equip you with essential skills to help clients move beyond trauma’s physical hold and toward lasting emotional freedom.
In Janina’s insightful and compassionate style, you’ll learn advanced somatic approaches that you can immediately integrate into your practice, enabling deep healing and genuine breakthroughs for your clients.
In This Intensive, Practice-Changing Mini-Course, You’ll Discover:
How trauma dysregulates the nervous system
so that you can recognize exactly when your clients are triggered and confidently guide them toward effective regulation and safety.
Practical methods to expand your client’s window of tolerance
so that your clients can better manage intense emotional states and reconnect with their sense of safety, empowerment, and joy.
How to identify and resolve implicit body memories
so that you help clients break free from unconscious patterns, dramatically reducing trauma reactivation and promoting lasting emotional well-being.
Simple but powerful posture and movement experiments
so that your clients experience immediate relief from feelings of helplessness, anxiety, and depression, restoring dignity and agency in their lives.
The critical role of curiosity and mindful awareness
so that you can effectively engage your client’s prefrontal cortex to calm fear-based reactions and establish new, empowering neural pathways.

Janina was so kind and compassionate and just lovely in her beingness and her presentations. She is clear and so loving in the way she approaches her clients and her students.
