Really looking forward to the next two days of training with @YogaTherapyMcr developing my skills in the embodied approach to trauma further. Trauma lodges in our bodies, beyond where language can reach.

Bodywork has an important role in helping people affected by adversity & trauma to re-establish a sense of safety in their bodies. If we work with trauma we have to work with the body as well as the mind. #trauma #embodiment #bodywork #morethanwords @YogaTherapyMcr
