About this event
When trauma is experienced at a young age a child’s identity and way of being in the world will shape around their survival mechanisms. This will then become who they are and often goes un challenged.
Not feeling fully here in the world, being airy fairy, laid back, easy going, in their own world, always so calm, so bubbly, always kind are only a few labels/identities a person might find familiar. When we start to look beneath the surface, however, we often see unmet needs, attachment disruptions and trauma that has had a person shape their being to survive.
In this workshop you’ll learn some of the key trauma survival strategies that a person unconsciously adopts when they need to survive from a very young age. This includes 3 survival strategies that can often go unnoticed: dissociation, freeze and fawn.
In this workshop you’ll get to understand how these survival strategies can present in your adult clients, how to identify them and importantly, how to work with them.
Kate is know for her relaxed teaching style, experiential somatic practices and skill of bringing theory to life and making it applicable.
