We teach the interpersonal neurobiology of trauma and how to support agency with ways of co and self-regulating intensity. Holding space for people braving exiled aspects of the self requires specialist training in this field especially to work effectively with people who are living with the effects of developmental Trauma. We also understand that we are always working with aspects of being human that can disable ability to participate.

Relational embodiment practices facilitate people feeling more of themselves in practices within a container of radical acceptance. Clients can privately inhabit new ways of being with kindness risking islands of self-acceptance that with practice have the potential to build supporting people to reach the shores of belonging.

When we are touched or we touch another, sensory receptivity may awaken memories into conscious awareness.

Opening the senses involves discovering our limits with the intensity of affect (affect relates to visceral responses in the body).

The relational embodiment curriculum of this training, includes the Wheel of Consent, Body Poem and Clean Language coaching models, supporting creating clear relationship agreements that honour, with radical acceptance, all aspects of self.

We understand that nobody needs more practice enduring the stress of over-adaption.

Practitioner Client relationship agreements are updated at regular intervals attuned with all parts of the self emerging from being hidden by shame.

Co-created practices are agreed to in stages where clients learn to participate in inhabiting new ways of being with agency and choice.

Many Somatic Sex Educators specialise in this field as trauma shows up most intensely in relation to intimacy and sexual expression. Part of the training is to network and collaborate professionally with trauma specialists and psychotherapists when supporting the integration of encapsulated repressed aspects of self.

Under the bandage, wounds from our dark nights of the soul remain unseen and these exiled aspects of ourselves are sent back into the unseen bowels of humanity to endure continued separation until we are supported with courage to be seen with radical acceptance

Cycles of undigested exiled aspects of humanity are ultimately seeking to be seen from underneath the shame bandages that have been nursing them.

Being seen requires acknowledgement and understanding so we can repair and allow our remorse to teach us to learn not to harm again. 

Being part of a community involves representing our needs and acknowledging the needs of others.

This training is an exploration into the ethics of self-care and duty of care with another and our ability to co-create relationship agreements that can honour and care for aspects of ourselves as we learn our limits and with others as they are learning theirs.

Embodiment involves enhancing the granularity of language and touch informed by our felt senses that support co-creating ethical professional boundary relationship agreements. This is how we care for the aspects of ourselves and others that need acknowledging. These are different for each of us and when tested show us our limits. This is often how we discover our limits in relation to our self-acceptance with unacknowledged needs.
