Instinctual Trauma Keynote Presentation
Note: Slides can start, stop and pause. There is no audio narration but there are some short videos.

When trauma is severe enough to be recorded at a reflex level, every time you experience the completely natural stimulus (change in light levels, going into REM sleep, eating), your body/psyche feels that the trauma is happening all over again. As a result, you may feel flooded with emotion when you enter a dimly lit room, or strike out at your lover when you have a nightmare. You may feel completely at the mercy of your body because it is responding at an instinctual level – beyond your conscious control.

 

This workshop will introduce instinctual trauma, how it occurs as well as the most powerful strategy for resolving it - connecting the reflex system with enough present- day neurological, psychological and spiritual resources so that your body realizes the trauma is over. As trauma is progressively released from the instinctual nervous system, you experience deepening abilities to actually choose the life you desire. Note: Slides can start and stop with video.
