A Trauma-Informed Approach to CranioSacral Therapy & SomatoEmotional Release

The concept of Trauma-Informed Care is becoming a much bigger part of the conversation in our communities, and rightly so! It is an experience that we all face as human beings. Our contemporary approach to healing and well-being is a shifting landscape, away from an old paradigm of being told by someone in a position of power how we feel and what we need - to a person-centred and collaborative exploration. In this 85 minute lecture we discuss the principles of trauma-informed care and how we can approach these within the CranioSacral Therapy setting. We discuss topics such as Window of Tolerance, Titration and Pendulation, Movement Release, Dissociation and a Mindfulness-based approach - and more!

CranioSacral Therapy: Images, Memories and the Imagination

What is occurring at a neurobiological and cellular level when images, memories, and emotions are held within the body? This webinar explores these questions through perspectives on trauma, embodiment, and mind–body communication, drawing on the work of Candace Pert. As Pert observed, “the body and mind are not separate, and we cannot treat one without the other.” Building on this understanding, the session examines how stored emotional experiences and memory are expressed physiologically, how this impacts body–mind health, and how imagery and imagination may be engaged thoughtfully within CranioSacral Therapy practice. The material supports practitioners to deepen clinical presence and conceptual clarity when working with imagery, memory, and meaning in therapeutic contexts.

The Inner Terrain of the Therapist: Self-Reflection and Inner Work in SomatoEmotional Release

This lecture explores the essential role of the therapist’s inner life in the practice of SomatoEmotional Release (SER). As therapists, we journey alongside our clients through deep emotional terrains, past traumas, preverbal memories, and existential longings. The client’s psychological, emotional, and energetic patterns inevitably shape the therapeutic field—just as our own capacity to witness and hold space profoundly influences the process. This lecture will emphasise the necessity of cultivating a self-reflective stance—grounded in ongoing inner work, embodied awareness, and an ethical commitment to presence.
