Introductory module topics

Theoretical models and therapeutic approaches in therapy and medicine often focus on the direct trauma or clinical criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Since trauma is always processed by each individual differently, we also need to recognize the whole person in its present life situations and social structures.

The teaching and practice includes::

  • Terms and definitions in Trauma Therapy
  • Psychophysiology of stress and trauma – important aspects of interpersonal neurobiology
  • The central nervous system and the regulation of traumatic experiences
  • Sympathetic and parasympathetic states of fight, flight and freeze - from simplicity to complexity
  • Research: The most important Fundamentals in Integrative Trauma Therapy incorporating the neurological, biochemical and psychological aspects.
  • Change is possible – brain structure, Neuroplasticity and preparing for change;
  • The Practice of Mindfulness and Somatic Awareness supports the re-organization of the personal system;
  • Evaluating Resources and establishing healthy boundaries
  • Therapeutic presence and creating a safe space
  • Learning to anchor (Grounding) and how to prevent re-traumatization;
  • Practice to safely release and integrate energies that are still held in a traumatic experience.

We will practice the Principles of Mindfulness and safe exercises for the concept of grounding, activation and harmonizing of body and feelings with breathing and movement, developing a Body-Feeling-Thinking-Mind-Awareness as an integrative approach to Trauma Therapy.

What we do and experience may echo through generations.

"With our experience of almost 50 years we address, that the woven fabric of Developmental- and Shock- Trauma are the basis for so many difficulties, fears and distortions, that people face in their life. All these experiences take place in a family and in a specific social setting and can be carried over through generations. In our work we address this as Family- and Generational-Trauma.

Echoing through generations - that is exactly what our actions and interactions do; they reverberate through space and time. Our Being and our actions in life create corresponding vibratory patterns that connect us all on a collective level. Therefore, when we work on topics of Trauma, especially also on Collective-Trauma, we also activate the dynamic towards Collective Healing.

In the Trauma Training of Core Evolution® we are supporting participants to transform difficulties and traumas in life by establishing a Matrix of Grounding™. This strengthens coherance and enables the creation of a unified Body-Feeling-Mind Field with the ability to establish Self-Empowerment and Mindful Presence.

By coming together, witnessing, feeling and supporting each other and knowing, that we are all connected, socially, as human beings and in the larger field of existence, we contribute to global coherance - which is needed to solve today’s global issues of health, wealth, environment, justice, freedom and peace.

In my lectures or on conferences, participants often express, that they had been touched by what they had heard, but that they now have practical questions like: “What can I do when….?” “How can I change certain repeating patterns….?” “How can I avoid to get triggered?” and more.

That is when lectures or webinars are just not enough anymore and it needs the experience and dynamic interactive exchange.

In this Trauma Training I bring abstract concepts into the down to earth reality of your life. Of course most questions can not just be answered with one exercise, one visualization or other - but with empathy, competence, creativity and love, we can create a shift in the field of the person, that allows them to re-connect with their personal qualities and unique potential, to activate their inherent power of love, goodness and the capacity for self-healing. From this place you can change your actions and expand your consciousness, which then can “echo through generations” to create harmony again."
