Health Events in Adelaide

A healing, educational workshop for therapists, practitioners and the general public. Dr Bessel van der Kolk supported by Licia Sky, Tania de Jong AM & Benny Holloway. This unique workshop will explore how trauma affects people’s rhythms within themselves and with their surroundings. Trauma changes the way the brain processes information and how the human organism engages with the world. This special event will explore the neurobiology of self-regulation and examine ways of befriending one’s body, voice and nervous system. Bessel will explore how the brain is shaped by experience and how our relationship to our sense of self is the product of our synchronicity with those around us. Healing may involve a variety of different approaches. He will share clinical experiences and world-leading research with psychedelic-assisted therapies, EMDR, yoga, meditation and bodywork, music and theatre, and neurofeedback. He will outline the efficacy of these various techniques in helping people overcome a traumatic past and regain the capacity to be fully alive in the present.
