As a part of the Academy of Therapy Wisdom’s Therapy Wisdom Circle, I will be offering two virtual training sessions, the first takes place on May 8th with the following on May 22nd.

Session 1: The Body in Polycrisis: Trauma, Rage, Grief, and Staying Human

We are living inside overlapping crises - institutional and systemic violence, climate crisis, political upheaval, genocides - while continuing to sit with others’ pain in the therapy room. For many clinicians and clients alike, the body is holding more than one lifetime of fear, rage, grief, and exhaustion. These responses are not signs of pathology; they are logical adaptations to sustained threat.

Together we will explore how trauma lives in the body during times of polycrisis, and how rage, shutdown, numbness, and grief function as protective and meaning-making responses. Together, we will reflect on how nervous systems respond to chronic uncertainty and moral injury, and how parts of us organize around survival, refusal, and care. We collectively will be invited to tend to our own bodies while exploring how to support clients in staying rooted in their full humanness - without bypassing despair or rushing toward resilience.
