How Complex Trauma Shatters the Self Part 2 Workshop with Kate Williams

This workshop is a standalone workshop and also an ideal follow on from Part 1. It’s also possible to purchase the recording for Part 1 and watch afterwards.

Early developmental and relational trauma can have catastrophic consequences on a persons sense of self and how they go on to relate to the world. Abandonment and rejection trauma or enmeshed parenting can severe a persons connection with themselves leaving them with chronically low self esteem and a damaged self concept.

With an underdeveloped or damaged sense of self a persons way of being in the world can be significantly limited and this can be observed through their posture, their gestures and how they move and generally hold themselves, e.g. becoming small, collapsing, shying away from conflict, not saying no and feeling afraid to say a full yes to opportunities.

When a person hasn’t been able to fully express themselves physically, emotionally and verbally energy becomes thwarted, movements can become rigid and muscles can become weak. This diminishes a persons sense of agency and power in their world.

This is an experiential body-based workshop where you’ll get to experience your own strength and power and learn how to support clients to find theirs, allowing their energy to flow again.
