We’re excited to share an upcoming live online workshop with Peter A. Levine, PhD, hosted by The Awake Network.
In this 60-minute workshop, Peter Levine, founder of Somatic Experiencing®, invites mental health professionals to explore interoception: our ability to sense and perceive what is happening inside the body, and its essential role in trauma healing, emotional regulation, and our sense of safety.
For individuals who have experienced trauma, turning attention inward can sometimes feel overwhelming or unsafe. Bodily sensations may trigger heightened activation, anxiety, or disconnection, making it difficult to remain present with internal experience. How can therapists help clients gradually reconnect with their bodies in ways that feel safe and manageable?
In this workshop, you will:
Understand the role of interoception in trauma healing: Explore how awareness of internal bodily signals relates to emotional regulation, embodied self-awareness, and our sense of safety.
Recognize when body awareness becomes overwhelming: Learn to identify signs of heightened activation, shutdown, or dissociation, and explore ways to support safety before inviting deeper somatic exploration.
Develop practical skills for working with bodily sensations: Experience trauma-sensitive approaches, such as orienting, resourcing, titration, and pendulation, to help clients gradually build interoceptive awareness.
Help clients reconnect with their bodies: Explore ways to support greater trust in bodily sensations, strengthen capacity for nervous system regulation, and integrate interoceptive awareness into therapeutic practice.
