This session will explain the relationship between complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) and the nervous system and the ways that chronic trauma conditions the nervous system to lose its ability to regulate both the emotional and physical aspects of an individual's life. Various methods of healing the nervous system aid in lowering the intensity of triggers, which allow for the body and brain to connect and calm, promoting understanding, both personally and inter-personally. Nurturing the nervous system promotes more balanced physical and emotional health. Speakers will share their personal accounts of how trauma impacted their lives and specific strategies that worked for them, touching on many different methods of healing the nervous system. An interactive portion will empower attendees through a direct and guided experience that they can take with them anywhere they go.
