- Sensory Experiencing: Touch & Trauma
Module with Jane Okondo
Trauma held within the body can affect a person's ability to function with ease and regulation. Touch-based work supports skill development and listening for the resolution of trauma held within the tissues of the body.
We will explore different ways of bringing touch and relationship to establish a new somatic ground and coherency, such that unconscious behavioral responses are held and a new self awareness arises.
What does this workshop focus on?
Jane Okondo’s protocol for working hands-on with trauma comes from her background as a Biodynamic Cranial Sacral therapist, her teaching Integrative Bodywork and Movement Therapy, her work with Somatic Experiencing (R), and the touch skills for trauma with Kathy Kain and Dr. Aline La Pierre with NeuroAffective Touch (R). We will also draw from Stephen Porge's Polyvagal theory to integrate the developmental and relational work needed for trauma hands on work.
Over this module the focus of the hands-on work will be through the lense of the nervous system, whilst also learning to recognize which system(s) of the body and relational field holds interruptions, trauma and/or dysregulation.
The verbal skills that accompany this work are a vital part of the practice and allow for a depth and safety of practice. Also it is important to mention that this particular way of working with trauma also supports and helps to integrate other bodywork and hands-on practices that a therapist uses in their work.

What is HANDS ON about?
In keeping with the integrative and interdisciplinary approach of the Somatic Academy, in this training we give a focus to various individual somatic treatment approaches.
Often Somatic Methods impart their knowledge in the context of movement and sensory education classes or group instruction. In doing so, some methods have also developed a large treatment vocabulary for one-on-one sessions.
Each module and the method(s) it contains has its own focus. Direct, sensing and 'listening' touch play a central role. The numerous, concrete skills and techniques that are taught meet the conscious participation of the recipient. The experience of being touched and being treated thus intertwine in individual somatic work. They are interdependent and thus become more deeply effective for the person being treated - as well as a source for personal learning and change through the felt body.
