Return Workshops
Post-Graduate Touch Skills Trainings
Los Angeles, California
2012

Each year, those who complete the Touch Skills Training for Trauma Therapists ask for ways to continue to deepen their skills, to explore new topics, and to come together with other practitioners working with touch and trauma. Our Touch Skills Training Return Workshops provide a way for all of these things to happen.

Return Workshops are only open to those who have completed the Touch Skills Training for Trauma Therapists. Students will be learning and practicing with others who also already have a strong basis in this work.

Open Topic Workshops Kathy L. Kain March 30-April 1, 2012 October 26-28, 2012
Each open topic Return Workshop is an individual, freestanding training; students may attend as few or as many of the workshops as they wish. The workshop topics are based on participant interest as well as a further exploration of topics originally presented in the Touch Skills Training Program. We typically spend time working with both early and complex trauma and learn to work in a more detailed way with the spinal and visceral structures that hold deep shock states.	In these Return Workshops we typically spend some time working with early/complex trauma, since it’s one of the most challenging categories to master. In our most recent Berkeley Return Workshop we worked in a more detailed way with the spinal and visceral structures that hold deep shock states, and there were requests to return to that work in future weekends.

The Resilient Child: Becoming a Resilient Adult A somatic approach to building resilience and regulation in the traumatized child and the adult she/he becomes Kathy L. Kain & Stephen Terrell September 28-30, 2012 November 30-December 2, 2012 February 8-10, 2013
This three-module Return Workshop Series will focus on the effect of significant trauma during early development. We will present techniques for working with children, and information on how to adapt those techniques for working with early trauma in its adult disguises. By understanding how trauma affects the developing child, we can also better understand our adult clients' symptoms of their early trauma. This training is intended as an integrated somatic approach, which will include the use of touch. Touch work is crucial in supporting auto-regulation and opening the neural pathways for the client to experience co-regulation. That in turn opens the doors for self-regulation and the healing of attachment ruptures. While we will spend a little time reviewing the core touch material used for this class, we will be presuming adequate knowledge of essential methods of resilience- and capacity-building work with kidney/adrenal, brain stem and digestive system as presented in the Touch Skills Training Program.	Over the course of the three three-day modules, we will cover somatic approaches to: Auto-regulation; Co-regulation; Self-regulation; Impact of neurosequential development on the five senses and the integration of experience; Parental regulation and its effect on the developing child, as well as partner regulation with adults; Understanding attachment style and its somatic implications; The importance of the social engagement system in working with children; Attachment cycle; Typical impacts of attachment ruptures on nervous system function; Ethics and protocols.
