The Science of Transforming Trauma In The Body

"The price for ignoring or distorting the body's messages is being unable to detect what is truly dangerous or harmful for you and, just as bad, what is safe and nurturing"
Bessel Van Der Kolk - The Body Keeps The Score

Lorna Evans will illuminate the process of working Somatically with the Body, Breath and Movement in therapy. The aim of this training is to give mental health practitioners the confidence to notice moments where they can creatively integrate these somatic tools into their current clinical practice, both in-person and online.

This training will equip you with practical tools you can share with your clients to support their healing from emotional stress and trauma, and to help them begin to notice and regulate their nervous systems. This will be delivered by Lorna, through a Trauma-Informed and Neuro-Affirming lens, as this knowledge is essential when working with neurodivergent clients.

This workshop draws on research from Lorna’s new book, The Mind & Movement, published in November 2025 by Karnac Publishing.

Takeaways - Tools you'll walk away with

1 - Body – Gain a clear understanding of how trauma and emotional stress is stored in the body, the role of fascia, and how “issues in the tissues” impact both mental and physical wellbeing

2 - Breath – Learn how breathing can regulate the nervous system, explore the science of the autonomic nervous system and vagus nerve, and practice trauma-informed techniques.

3 - Movement – Break the taboo of movement in therapy by exploring the science behind it, integrating movement into treatment planning, and equipping clients with tools to regulate their nervous system, improve sleep, and manage symptoms.
