A Somatic Approach to Supporting Recovery from Developmental Trauma
Somatic Resilience and Regulation focuses on understanding the effects of Developmental Trauma on the child, as well as the developing adult. The program opens the door to working in the milieu of nonverbal trauma. By understanding the neurochemistry of early trauma, and rebuilding developmental platforms through regulation, clients begin to move from a high-cost-of-doing-business system to a smoother and less stress-oriented system.
The Somatic Resilience & Regulation Training
Please note that this training is presented as a hybrid online format.
There is a combination of pre-module self-paced lecture and demonstration video viewing, online Q&A segments plus online Skill Building experiential practice of the specific somatic techniques presented. Study groups may be formed for optional post-module in-person practice.
This three-module program focuses on understanding the effects of trauma during early development. We present techniques for working with both children and adults, including recognising developmental trauma in its adult disguises. By understanding how trauma affects the developing child, we can better understand our adult clients’ symptoms of early trauma and be more effective in our work with them.
This course is intended as an integrated somatic approach for supporting and restoring clients’ resilience and self-regulation. The primary orientation is on more deeply understanding the impact of developmental trauma.
The techniques we practice include the use of what we call ‘intentional touch’ methods, which can be applied with or without the direct use of touch, making them applicable for both in-person work and online work.
The program consists of pre-recorded videos of lectures and demonstrations, with Q&A time and experiential practice of the specific somatic techniques during the live portions of the program.
In this three-module series, we will cover the following material:- How developmental trauma interrupts self-regulation, attachment, and physiology
- The relationship of attachment and bonding to traumatic stress physiology
- The somatic effects of developmental trauma
- The interplay between the social engagement system, physiology, and attachment dynamics
- Why the ACE (Adverse Childhood Experience) study is so important in generational and community healing
- Using somatic techniques for supporting resilience, regulation, and repair
- Ethics and protocols
Curriculum
The following is a list of topics that will be addressed in each module. We use an experiential and emergent design model for teaching, which means that topics evolve from the group exercises and discussion. The following gives an approximate order for the material presented, but there will be variations for each group experience.

Who May Attend?
Somatic Resilience & Regulation is a program to provide clinicians and practitioners with an orientation specifically to developmental trauma. Prior knowledge and experience at the practitioner level in a bio-physiological model of trauma resolution is required as a pre-requisite for this training. It is presumed that clinical skills are already present.
Prior experience or training as a bodyworker is NOT required.
Having education in how trauma impacts someone emotionally and psychologically is helpful, but the emphasis is for participants to already have a grounding in what happens in the physiology during traumatic stress.
Please note: The SRR program does not teach the bio-physiology of trauma nor provide the basic clinical skills for working with trauma. Participants are presumed to already have a working knowledge, at the practitioner level, of working with traumatic stress.
In order to work with the material covered in the Somatic Resilience & Regulation training, participants are required to already have a working knowledge of how trauma impacts the autonomic nervous system, as well as other physical systems.
An understanding and experience of a bio-physiological model of working with trauma would include:
- Knowledge of the impact of traumatic stress on the autonomic nervous system, including the basics of stress chemistry.
- Knowledge of how the threat response occurs in relation to stressing events, the impact on neuroception and how the threat response and self-protective systems can be altered by traumatic stress e.g.how hyper-vigilance can be a side-effect of trauma.
- Practice in observing the effects of trauma in the physical systems: autonomic nervous system, breathing, hear rate, protective responses.
- Professional practice in supporting people through traumatic stress responses towards some level of stability.
This could include modalities such as:
- Somatic Experiencing
- Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
- Hakomi Method
Also suitable is the completion of a relevant somatic based trauma resolution training such as:
- Touch Skills for Therapists Training – Kathy Kain
- Transforming the Experience-Based Brain – Stephen Terrell
- NeuroAffective® Touch Foundation Training – Aline La Pierre
If you have attended any other equivalent trauma resolution training that is not listed above, or any relevant online webinars, please provide details and any queries on the application form.
Please be aware that it is not sufficient that an applicant has received sessions in a modality that works with traumatic stress, or has completed a trauma related training, without having actually practiced the tools learned by working with traumatic stress in a professional setting.
It is recommended to read the book ‘Nurturing Resilience’. The authors are the SRR trainers Kathy Kain and Stephen Terrell.
