Research in neuro-psychology and polyvagal theory has confirmed: trauma lives in the body. As mental health service providers, we are exposed daily to the sensory and somatic experiences of our clients, as we support them throughout their healing process. One of the greatest responsibilities in preventing therapist burnout is the acknowledgment and release of these transmitted stressors and tensions. Exploring the mind-body connection through dance/movement therapy and mindfulness techniques, participants will have an opportunity to examine and expand their self-knowledge, build skills in body-based rapport building, and obtain tools in nonverbal co-regulation for their work with trauma survivors. Current research on vicarious trauma in counseling, wellness and self-care, and related frameworks will also be discussed as a way to reinforce burnout prevention and counselor resilience. This workshop will address and reinforce the importance of self-awareness and care of one-self, while simultaneously caring for others.
