Welcome to the Nature-Informed Attachment & Trauma Live Online Training,

a groundbreaking program co-facilitated by Heidi Schreiber-Pan, PhD, LCPC, and Mary Sue McCarthy, LCPC, CCTP an expert in trauma. This immersive training integrates the work of Gabor Maté, Dan Siegel, Richard Schwartz, and Dr. Pat Ogden, offering a comprehensive exploration of trauma, attachment, and nature-informed healing practices.

​

This program explores the healing power of nature through somatic awareness, emphasizing trauma recovery from the bottom up. Participants will discover how nature-based approaches foster somatic healing, nervous system regulation, and emotional resilience. With a focus on the triune brain's functions and the significance of bottom-up processing, this experiential training emphasizes why more than cognitive strategies alone may be needed for processing overwhelming experiences.

 

Key topics include:

• Biophilia: The inherent human connection to nature and its role in fostering secure attachments and emotional well-being.

• Somatic embodiment and how nature aids in regulating the nervous system and promoting healing through sensory immersion in natural environments.

• Insights from ecopsychology, sensorimotor psychotherapy, and somatic experiencing to enhance trauma treatment and deepen the mind-body connection.

• Nature-based interventions for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and cultivating resilience in trauma recovery.

 

Through guided sensory immersion and nature-based practices, participants will gain firsthand experience of the therapeutic benefits of nature, learning how it fosters emotional regulation, resilience, and post-traumatic growth. This workshop will help you better understand the importance of somatic healing and the embodied practices that enhance trauma recovery.

 

This interactive and experiential webinar includes:

• Practical nature-infused techniques to deepen therapeutic relationships and empower clients.

• Tools for trauma survivors to engage their senses and create lasting healing through nature.

• Techniques for working with the nervous system and integrating nature-based practices for emotional regulation.

 

Participants are required to have access to green space during the training, ensuring direct engagement with nature’s calming and restorative properties. By the end of this program, you’ll have a deeper understanding of attachment theory, trauma recovery, and resilience, as well as new skills to integrate nature-informed therapy into your practice.
