FREE Virtual Q&A/Information session to learn about our Foundations of Post-Traumatic Growth Somatic Therapy Certification and Training and to meet Ruby Jo Walker! We will meet via Zoom on Friday, January 31, 12pm-1pm (MST/AZ Time).
Love Life Therapy Center is again hosting another comprehensive Foundations of Post-Traumatic Growth Somatic Therapy Certification and Training program in Tucson, Arizona. We had such transformational and profound experiences learning from Ruby Jo Walker, both personally and professionally at the beginning of 2024, that we are bringing her back in February/March of 2025!
In this trauma-informed series, participants will deeply explore Post-Traumatic Growth from a nervous system and developmental wounding lens, using a somatic approach. This training will incorporate the newest neurobiological perspectives that facilitate embodied personal growth and resiliency. This training has a true non-pathologizing approach to trauma, recognizing that all trauma adaptations and presentations are connected to neurobiology and experiences — and based on our humanness.
If you have any interest in learning more about how your practice may be enhanced by this training/certification opportunity, please join our FREE Virtual Q&A Information session on Friday, January 31, 12pm-1pm (MST/AZ Time). We will also have one or more past participants attending to talk about our experiences and answer any questions as well.
