This presentation recognizes the impact of repeated exposure to stressful events and situations, both real time and vicariously, that negatively affect one’s mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. This presentation is designed to introduce participants to somatic therapy and its ability to unravel stress or trauma which may be keeping you from living and performing optimally right here, right now. Your thoughts, attitudes, feelings, and beliefs can have an impact on your physical wellbeing, work performance, and interpersonal relationships. This holistic approach is based on mindfulness techniques which can help you become more aware of your body’s response to negative or positive stimuli and help you find ways to improve your physical, emotional and mental health, which will ultimately impact both your professional and personal life.
