"Creating Body Awareness: The Body Remembers What the Mind Forgets" is the second of a training series on Trauma-Informed care with Experiential Psychotherapies in Lancaster, Pa., with a focus on how the body and brain are impacted by trauma and how experiential psychotherapies, when used safely, can support recovery and healing. When we understand that trauma is stored in the body, we have a greater understanding of why traditional talk therapy has its limitations. Dr. J.L. Moreno, the developer of psychodrama, famously said, “The body remembers what the mind forgets,” but it has taken decades to understand exactly how trauma lingers within the tissues of the body. With the rediscovery of psychodrama and its related methods of sociometry, and other creative arts therapies, we now have many more tools to understand and assist with the arc of trauma recovery. Because the brain is a living organ with a great capacity for change, we can reshape the brain with improvisational play, art making, and other experiential work. In other words: when we have new and different experiences, the brain responds. In this training workshop, instructed by Karen Carnabucci, LCSW, TEP, and Sharon Czabafy, DSW, LCSW, CAADC, NCTTP, CET, MAC, we focus the neurobiology of the brain and ways to work with the body that support mental and emotional healing.

This quarterly training series, which started January 2020, explores trauma–informed care, combining up-to-date trauma information with the safe application of experiential and creative arts therapies and activities, including psychodrama, sociometry, Family Constellations, art making and meditation. The series focuses on best practices in trauma-informed care integrated with experiential psychotherapies, which are increasingly documented as therapies of choice for survivors of trauma. Brain researchers demonstrates that it is the repeated experience that activates growth and connection within the brain, so just as traumatic experiences change the brain, so can positive and integrated experiences contribute to healing change. This program, sponsored by the Lancaster School of Psychodrama and Experiential Psychotherapies, is suitable for mental health professionals, educators, physicians, nurses, health care administrators, first responders, creative arts therapists, alternative practitioners, midwives, youth leaders, human resources specialists, addictions professionals and others. Tuition for the trianing class is $125 and includes handouts and of six continuing education credits for social workers, marriage and family therapists, licensed professional counselors and psychologists, plus psychodrama and Act. 48 hours.
