Now that we understand that trauma is stored in the body, we have a greater understanding of why traditional talk therapy has its limitations.
Dr. J.L. Moreno, the developer of psychodrama, famously said, “The body remembers what the mind forgets,” but it has taken many decades to understand exactly how trauma lingers within the tissues of the body. With the rediscovery of psychodrama and its related methods of sociometry, along with other creative arts therapies, we now have many more tools to understand and assist with the arc of trauma recovery.
Because the brain is a living organ with a great capacity for change, we can reshape the brain with improvisational play, art and image making, and other experiential modalities. In other words: when we have new and different experiences, the brain responds.
In this training workshop, instructed by Karen Carnabucci, LCSW, TEP, and Sharon Czabafy, DSW, LCSW, CAADC, NCTTP, CET, MAC, we focus the neurobiology of the brain and ways to work with the body that support mental and emotional healing.
