    About this training

    This 3-hour workshop will offer participants an understanding of how survival-based adaptations to traumatic experiences become encoded as protective in the body and brain, influencing affect regulation, perception, and the sense of self. There will be a focus on understanding the neurobiological difference between "reliving" trauma versus "remembering" trauma. Through practical, brain-based strategies, participants will learn how to rewire neural pathways to restore regulation, strengthen adaptive capacity, and cultivate courageous resilience. OBJECTIVES: 1. Describe how trauma impacts the brain and nervous system, including the role of protective survival responses and active defenses in shaping behavior, emotion, and perception. 2. Differentiate between reliving trauma and remembering trauma, and explain the neurobiological processes involved in shifting traumatic memory toward integration. 3. Apply at least three brain-based strategies that promote nervous system regulation and support the development of resilience through neural rewiring.
