Who is this workshop appropriate for?

We welcome Counsellors, psychotherapists, psychiatrists, coaches and holistic practitioners with an interest in somatic work and finding new ways to work with trauma and supporting clients to feel safer and get more out of their sessions.

How do we help clients regulate when they experience challenging emotions and sensations?

And as therapists how do we regulate ourselves so we can better support our clients through these challenges?

​

One of the ways we can do this is through the breath.​

​

​

Learning Objectives Participants Can Expect From This Event

•       To learn how the breath can be used to help your clients regulate their nervous system.

•       To learn how breathwork can be used to help clients integrate trauma to a place of resolution

•       To learn how Breathwork may be combined with your current therapeutic practice.

​​​

In this workshop you will learn about the three different categories of breath techniques and how each of them can be used to help clients not only to regulate themselves, but also to resolve trauma.

Through our breath we can directly impact our nervous system state, to up or down regulate. We can learn how to bring calm to our nervous system and how to use our breath to build resilience.

Once we help a client regulate their nervous system, we can then go deeper with a particular type of breathwork practice into the unconscious, to help them resolve the trauma that they carry and to find lasting peace and wholeness.

The realm of breathwork can be very confusing, as there are so many different types of breathwork and ways of working with breath. In this workshop, John Paul and Deborah will demystify and simplify the world of breathwork, so that you can leave with an understanding of what types to recommend for clients when and also learn some simple yet powerful techniques that you can start using straight away to help you and your clients co-regulate, during your sessions and to self-regulate before and after sessions. This will help create an increased felt sense of safety for your clients to go deeper in your existing work with them.

This will be an experiential workshop where you will explore different breath practices you can use for both you and your clients.

​
