The Body Keeps the Score:
Trauma, Attachment and Neuroscience
Join Bessel van der Kolk in this live two-day workshop as we explore how trauma affects the developing mind and brain, as well as self-awareness and self-regulation. We will look at the difference between disrupted attachment and traumatic stress and focus on the fundamental difference between trauma de-sensitization vs. integration and growth. Bessel will be supported by somatic educator Licia Sky in this workshop.
