TRAUMA-SENSITIVE PRACTICES FOR THERAPISTS & HEALTH PROFESSIONALS and YOGA TEACHERS
A practical workshop supporting embodiment through language, non-coercion, and movement
What it is: An evidence-based, trauma-informed approach drawn from TC-TSY (Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga) for Complex Trauma and PTSD—grounded in neuroscience, attachment, and trauma theory.
Why it matters: These principles foster self-agency and empowerment for trauma survivors—and the skills are transferable to your one-to-one therapy practice.
Key principles you’ll work with
• Interoception (noticing and responding to internal body states)
• Choice-making and self-agency
• Trauma-sensitive, invitational language
• Power sharing & non-coercion
• Shared authentic experience
• Present-moment experience

In this workshop you will experience and learn
• Embodied movements that are accessible and adaptable for therapy settings
• What happens in a trauma-sensitive yoga group (TC-TSY) and in one-to-one sessions
• How to support clients attending TC-TSY: what to expect and how to integrate learning
• Hands-on practice using trauma-sensitive (invitational) language—and why it supports healing
• Ways to share power, support body connection, and reduce nervous system activation
What past attendees say
“Very useful for understanding how TSYoga helps clients regain self-agency… invitational language is so important where traumatised clients can default to compliance. The space for choice-making gives the opportunity for the client to take ownership of themselves.” —20-hour workshop attendee (Psychotherapist)
