This presentation explores how somatic therapy can support activists in processing social unrest, sustaining engagement, and reconnecting with their values while preventing burnout and compassion fatigue.

Thank you to the Phoenix Center clients who joined us tonight for our free community building workshop!

Thank you for trusting us to be your trauma therapy provider. We are grateful for you, your trust, and are genuinely excited to help you become the best version of yourself!

We recognize the healing and trauma recovery does not happen in isolation. We heal in relationship and community. We realized that we have so many clients who only come for 1-1 outpatient therapy and we were missing out on important opportunities to create peer support and connections between clients. These workshops are designed exactly for that!

Tonight we focused on our individual and collective goals for trauma recovery and concetized them using scarves on an empty chair. With the support of each other, participants took turns embodying themselves in the future and offered messages of encouragement to themselves today. The solidarity in the room was powerful to witness and be a part of!

Tomorrow - Registration Still Open

Register: https://www.phoenixtraumacenter.com/event/free-webinar-unraveling-the-connection-between-dementia-and-trauma-in-aging-adults/

As mental health professionals, we can help reduce risk factors associated with developing dementia, which often begin in early life.

In this 1-hour Webinar, we will begin to unravel the connection that exists between dementia, mental health, and trauma. We will explore overall brain health, brain changes, how mental health conditions impact cognitive changes, and how psychiatric conditions manifest in the presence of dementia

Next Week: On Becoming a Psychodrama Trainer with Dr. Scott Giacomucci

Virtual Workshop: 5:30PM-8:30PM EST

These workshops are designed to support psychodramatists in the role transition from practitioner to trainer. Becoming a psychodrama trainer is often an intimidating process as it involves developing curriculums, marketing events, managing registration, and building a training group.

Beyond practicing psychodrama in our workshops, we must be able to facilitate the processing phase of a session (warm-up, action, sharing, then processing) to articulate to students the connections between theory and practice that inform our directing choices. These workshops are designed to offer a blend of teaching, peer support, personal growth, and co-creation to support emerging trainers in all the sub-roles of becoming a psychodrama trainer.
