Post Traumatic Growth, Neuroscience & Biosynthesis Somatic Psychotherapy

Are you working with complex trauma clients & struggling to understand how to include somatic interventions effectively in order to help your client build regulation & resilience? Would you like to understand more about the bridge between Neuroscience, Somatic Psychology, Biosynthesis Somatic Psychotherapy and the process of transformation in the physical, emotional and somatic body. Gain valuable neurobiological insights into to the human psyche and learn how to build bridges between verbal and non-verbal communication.

In this workshop you will be introduced to Biosynthesis Somatic Psychotherapy and why Somatic Psychology is essential for helping clients work through the dysregulated affect which accompanies developmental trauma. ‘Talk therapy’ can have limited effectiveness for clients with somatised symptoms, dissociative defences and excruciating feeling of shame. Learn how Biosynthesis Somatic Psychotherapy works beyond the pathology, from the resources to the fragmentation to help develop a deep process of co-regulation between therapist and client. We will explore Biosynthesis interventions that enhance embodiment and wellbeing in the client. These interventions which, enhance embodiment in trauma treatment expand therapeutic experience beyond the ‘neurosis’ and beyond where words can take a client.

Biosynthesis Somatic Psychotherapy has been scientifically recognised by the European Association for Psychotherapy since 1998

Biosynthesis Somatic Approach to Relational Trauma October 2020

Borderline Trauma is most famously associated with difficult and unstable relationships. People with borderline personality disorder (BPD) tend to have major difficulties with relationships, especially with those closest to them. Their wild mood swings, angry outbursts, chronic abandonment fears, and impulsive and irrational behaviours can leave therapists & clients feeling helpless, abused, and off balance. Hyperarousal & catastrophic anxieties point to a chronic dysregulation of the nervous system alongside inadequate boundary formation.

Dr. David Boadella (founder of Biosynthesis Somatic Psychotherapy) is an International Expert in the field of Human Trauma and Mental Health Recovery & brought a new paradigm into Body Psychotherapy, ten years before Trauma was recognised by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, emphasising the importance of contact in the here and now, to provide enough containment for traumatised clients to give boundaries to the over-flooding feelings. Bisoynthesis Somatic Psychotherapy grounded in a synthesis of current psycho-biological understanding is well placed to help these clients build somatic borders through the discovery & encouragement of self-regulation impulses as a support to post traumatic health. In this workshop you will learn somatic therapeutic interventions which encourages post traumatic growth for the Borderline client by using narrative & differentiation techniques.

This workshop is for the experienced therapist and recent graduate and you are welcome to bring relevant case material from your current clinical practice to grow and learn from.

Bio Danielle Griffin

For the past year I have been consulting for camps around Asia and Africa with SeriousFun’s Global Partnership Program to help bring life-changing experience of camp to children living with HIV and other serious illnesses in resource-limited countries around the world – totally free of charge. SeriousFun reaches beyond borders and limitations of illness to help foster independence, resilience and personal growth and see beyond their medical condition.

I have worked for Barretstown for the last thirteen years in several roles, most recently as the Volunteer Director. Barretstown is a programme that delivers therapeutic recreation activities to children with serious illness and their families to help rebuild their lives after serious illness of bereavement. Barretstown is part of the Serious Fun Children’s Network – a global network of camps who deliver therapeutic programs for children living with serious illness.

I have worked with the HSE in a Special Care Unit, I’ve worked with adults with intellectual disability and worked in a hospital setting in Australia as a care assistant.

From working with a wide variety of people in different sectors, I felt guided to a more holistic approach with people to find happiness and fulfilment within themselves. By allowing space, guidance and time for people to explore a range of yoga practices I have seen people have remarkable results as well as having experienced these for myself.

I am a Hatha Yoga Teacher since 2015, teaching yoga to all levels and abilities This practice incorporates breath work, meditation as well as physical practice and technique.

I have completed 200 hours of Ashtanga style teacher training in India with Himalaya Yoga Valley, Goa under the guidance of Lalit Kumar who has studied with all the fathers of yoga himself, such as Sri BKS Iyengar and Sri K Pattabhi Jois, Sri Sharath Jois and Sri BNS Iyengar and still with Sharath Jois. This was such a humbling and profound learning. I travelled around India trying various yoga classes and meeting various teachers to broaden my insights and learning from the land of where the ancient tradition of yoga was born.

I have completed training with Rainbow Kids for Children’s Yoga as a children’s yoga teacher. I believe when children learn techniques for self-health, relaxation, and inner fulfillment, they can navigate life’s challenges with a little more ease. Yoga at an early age encourages self-esteem and body awareness with a physical activity that’s noncompetitive. Fostering cooperation and compassion—instead of opposition—is a great gift to give our children whilst also incorporating a huge sense of fun in movement as well as relaxation.

I completed my Mother and Baby Teacher Training with YTI in 2017. Mother and Baby yoga is a wonderful opportunity for Mums to spend quality time with their baby, enjoying their development and watching their unique personalities unfold. Mothers are often keen to get back to themselves after having a baby, and regain pelvic tone. Postnatal yoga is the perfect solution for mothers to get to their weekly yoga class, where their baby is apart of it too.

As a part of my Kids and Baby Yoga, it is evident that when babies start to crawl there is little classes that mothers can go to and enjoy spending time with their crawling babies as well as meet other mothers and babies socialize with other babies. Wobblers class is focused on a mothers developing their yoga practice and flexibility.

I qualified in Pregnancy Teacher Training in 2017 with Jan Duffy at Barefoot Yoga Studio. Holding space with expectant mothers is a special space to hold and to allow them the opportunity to learn how to use their breath for labour and preparation for bringing a baby into the world.

Sports Yoga certificate was completed in 2018 with YTI as another add on to my current knowledge. This training allows me to design cross training practices for different training practices and sports. Sports yoga is a mixture of mental focus, strength, flexibility and mobility training. Breathing techniques to enhance stamina and endurance for mental focus, relaxation which are all valuable tools to help strengthen, stretch and restore the body. Classes are an anatomy informed approach to teaching yoga so students can understand common injuries and prevent reoccurring injuries. Injury prevention, enhance performance and building muscle resilience for athletes.

Completing my Yoga Therapy post grad in 2018 with YTI has now allowed me to practice as a Yoga Therapist that specializes in working one to one with individuals who have a varied health conditions especially people who suffer from chronic pain or illness. Yoga therapy helps to find some comfort on a one to one basis to focus solely on the individual needs. The following conditions and illnesses that I can work with on a one to one basis or in a therapy class are the following: Musculoskeletal conditions, Arthritis, Strains, Sprains, Carpal Tunnell Syndrome, Plantar Fasciitis, Sciatica, Piriformis Syndrome, Fibromyalgia Osteoporosis, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinsons, Stroke, Heart Disease, Back pain conditions, Hip Replacements, Anxiety, Stress and some Respiratory and Cardiovascular conditions.
