This experiential webinar explores how intentional, gentle movement can support the nervous system in shifting out of states of freeze, collapse, chaos, or panic, helping clients move toward greater flow, presence, and safety. Participants will learn simple, adaptable practices that promote reconnection with the body and cultivate awareness of internal sensations. Through exploration of micro-movements, orienting, and pacing, clinicians and helpers will gain practical strategies to restore a sense of agency and enhance neuroceptive accuracy.

The session emphasizes trauma-informed approaches, highlighting how subtle, intentional movement can support regulation without overwhelming clients. Participants will engage in hands-on demonstrations and guided exercises, gaining confidence in introducing these tools safely in their clinical or support work.

By the end of the webinar, attendees will have actionable techniques to guide clients from hyperarousal, immobilization, or dysregulation toward grounded, embodied engagement, fostering resilience, presence, and somatic awareness in everyday practice.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand how targeted movement, micro-movements, and pacing can support nervous system regulation by shifting clients out of freeze, collapse, or panic states.
• Learn and practice simple, adaptable somatic techniques—such as orienting and micro-movement—to restore agency, safety, and neuroceptive accuracy.
• Apply movement-based strategies to guide clients toward grounded, embodied engagement and increased capacity for presence and connection.

Agenda:

Lecture & Brief Discussion (60 min) – Explore movement-based strategies to support nervous system regulation—recognizing states of freeze, collapse, or panic, gently restoring safety and agency, and guiding clients toward grounded, embodied engagement through practical, experiential techniques.
