INSTITUTE
Providing trauma awareness, prevention, and intervention skills
training for professionals in
the fields of Wilderness Work
and Residential Treatment, Coaching, and Personal Growth
We know you want to help your clients
overcome their challenges and live fuller, more satisfying
lives. It is why you do what you do, for the love of
transformation. But sometimes, inadvertently, the work you
do can trigger your clients’ trauma patterns and keep them
stuck in the past instead of moving towards their futures.
What is a trauma pattern:
A trauma pattern is the body’s physiological response to a
life-threatening or perceived life-threatening situation that
does not fully complete and sequence out of the body. Life,
of course, includes overwhelming circumstances and events.
These types of challenges are inevitable. How someone is able
to respond to an overwhelming event, based on their history,
their available inner resources and support networks, and
their beliefs about themselves and the world, determines whether
or not those events get imprinted as traumatic. Moreover,
even though a traumatic event may have happened long ago,
when someone is responding to the world from inside of subconscious
trauma patterns, their brain and body perceive that they are
still in danger, and respond as if the trauma is happening
now. Trauma patterns, therefore, can get in the way of our
(and our clients’) ability to move forward.
Somatic Training Institute’s (STI)
programs give you the information you need to recognize
trauma patterns and learn how to transform them. We help you
identify signs of trauma and teach you how to intervene by
bringing your clients into the present moment where healing
happens. STI introduces you to the neurobiology
behind your clients’ behaviors, so that you can help
them to have compassion for
themselves instead of feeling shame.
We help you to recognize when your clients are stuck in trauma
and no longer available for learning. We teach you about grounding,
somatic resourcing, and creating felt-sense safety,
and show you how to build resiliency from the beginning of
your work with your clients, so that you
can do what you do best, help your clients to heal.
Less trauma means less anxiety, less
addictive behavior, fewer blocks to growth, less suffering,
and the assurance that your work will make a lasting
and integrated difference in your clients’ lives. We
like that.
