About the Course
Description:
Trauma profoundly affects childhood development by negatively impacting the way children's brains are hardwired. Traditional talk therapy often falls short, as it may not access the deep-seated memories stored throughout the body and mind—especially those not yet reachable by speech in early childhood. However, children possess a remarkable capacity for resilience. Their brains and bodies are built for restoration, utilizing neuroplasticity to recover and thrive.
This advanced training recording, led by Dr. Cheryl Fisher, delves into the transformative power of nature therapy as a whole-brain, whole-body approach to healing trauma in children. By engaging children in nature-based experiences, we can promote resiliency, facilitate recovery, and empower them with a sense of agency.
