A Trauma Responsive Feldenkrais/SE Group With Dan Rindler GCFP, SEP
The Roots of Resilience is a small, in-person, group individually tailored to those with with trauma history who are currently in therapy and looking for support for getting back in touch with their bodies comfortably and safely.
Each group meeting will provide a gentle, accessible way to move towards feeling neurologically safer as you reconnect with your body’s sensations, including the protective responses that can arise due to past challenging experiences. We’ll do that through centering practices, guided movement explorations, and group/individual feedback and discussion.
The group is designed to be supportive and accessible for those who may experience panic attacks, anxiety, or find it especially challenging to tune into body sensations, those who feel they’re often on “high alert” or conversely, feel they’re often distant or tuned out.
“Is this group therapy?” – No, but it is a group (rather than a class) and is exponentially more supportive of trauma-healing than a movement class.
“Will I have to share my trauma history in the group?” Nope! While It may get vulnerable at times, we won’t be digging deep into talking through anyone’s history. Instead, there will be invitations for feedback, never required, to share what you’re noticing in body, thought, emotion, or impulse to move, in the present moment.
“How will this help me?” Here’s one former client’s experience:
“This class opened a whole new world for me. It was a more comfortable first step than meditation, or yoga — this was a lot less intense. Overall the classes brought me into the present and changed my thinking in regards to tuning into how I feel without getting overwhelmed.” – Chana, 2023
