This introductory (Part One) workshop is designed to educate practitioners working in the trauma spectrum on how to integrate the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) created by Dr. Stephen Porges as a preparatory and/or intervention tool for treating complex trauma, wounds of attachment, addictions, and other emotional and physical conditions related to Autonomic Dysregulation.
The SEGAN MODEL further allows the client and therapist to develop a narrative that supports the essence of a felt sense-based intention that guides the individual into the co-creation of their own Mosaic of Healing (Healing Pathway).
When adopting the SEGAN MODEL (Sensation, Emotion, Gesture in colors, Action, and Narrative), the listening sessions are supported by artistic, creative activities, movement, and gestures that encourage expression, embodiment, coherence, and empowerment.
This model enlivens our awareness and understanding of life patterns. It correlates each hour of the SSP to a deeper relationship and organization of our conscious mind, or “I.” It supports the somatic “bottom-up” approach of creating the opportunity for subtle shifts in arousal, inviting imagination, inspiration and intuition, to strengthen our capacity to become present with ourselves and each other.
You will be presented with two case studies, one featuring the essence of birth trauma and the other eating disorder / developmental trauma. In both cases, the Polyvagal Theory (SSP) and Somatic Experiencing informed approaches were a part of the healing process.
This presentation will include a 20-minute Q&A session.
WEBINAR OBJECTIVES
- Name and describe the SEGAN Model as it applies to the five listening hours of the Safe and Sound Protocol.
- Describe the difference between SEGAN and SIBAM and how they relate to this healing model.
- Learn the movements that sustain the embodiment of each of the listening hours of the SSP – Eurythmy.
