In recent years, body-based trauma healing has been very much identified with discharges in the Autonomic Nervous System. The (triune) brain and its primary survival functions have been the centre of therapeutic attention.

However, recent research reveals the heart as a crucial moderator of our brain and self-experience. The heart turns out to be a nervous system in itself with more than 80 % neuronal tissue. This finding has far-reaching consequences for our understanding of trauma, self-regulation and well-being.

In this trauma healing seminar, we will focus on the effect of trauma imprinted on the heart and cardiovascular system. We will increase our understating of how the heart co-regulates and co-moderates existential survival and experiential functions. The effect on sensorimotor, emotional, cognitive, self-regulatory and spiritual aspects of our world-experience will be demonstrated. Three levels of practice will be stressed:

1. perceptual ability of the facilitator to discern his or her own autonomic nervous system and     self-regulate it.
2. forming an effective facilitator-client relationship to enhance self-regulation in the client.
3. exploring the set of skills involved in the appropriate use of physical touch for transforming     traumatic dysregulation imprinted in the heart and cardiovascular system.

By focusing on the heart, we are focusing on the core of the human body and its regulatory mechanisms. We will investigate its far-reaching consequences for self-regulation skills and sense of belonging and relating. Join us on this fascinating journey to the core of our existence.
