\"What about SE helps us navigate the world in which we live outside of our SE sessions? This process has been front and center for me the past few days. I am writing this letter from Set\u00fabal, Portugal, outside of Lisboa. I am here as a guest at the European Association of Somatic Experiencing (EASE) General Assembly. This experience has helped me to understand better what it means to find moments of safety within new experiences and also to think about how discomfort and curiosity relate in our felt senses.\"<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

A highly respected and renowned leader for indigenous communities, he held a U.S. presidential appointment from 2009-2012, held numerous tribal judgeships, and was an assistant professor of law. Here\u2019s what you can look forward to:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will begin by smudging (cleansing) ourselves and the common space for us (virtual in this case) to create a safe space and healing container for our activities and sharing of spirit. We will thank the indigenous people of this homeland and their ancestors for allowing us to have our healing container. We will have an opening prayer and set our intentions regarding soul, spirit, place, and alignment of our true selves. We will discuss the four directions and four elements to have a witness to our words, feelings, and thoughts that we will carry with us for the next four seasons. In addition to a welcoming song, we will align the conference attendees with our seven realms of relations \u2013 above, below, animals, people, spirits, self and family, and the great mystery of life. It is an ancient welcoming and expression of sincere gratitude for that morning, that day, that moment, and to be present in good thoughts, feelings, and relations. We will close with an indigenous song to honor the life\u2019s work of Dr. Peter Levine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Following her time there, Amie spoke at the annual conference of the National Organization for Victims Assistance (NOVA) on Crisis Stabilization and Safety, presenting to 1,300 victim advocates from around the country across the array of social services, from domestic violence and sexual assault advocates to military and public safety partners.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u201cAnimals that are not licked and groomed enough in their infancy have fundamental change in their epigenetics that predispose them to all kinds of health conditions and addiction. You can take a person\u2019s touch history and have understandings of likelihood of depression or trauma. So, understanding how safe we feel in our bodies, how connected we feel to others, and a sense of support from one another is quite profound.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

\"I have always been wary of another \u2018new cure\u2019, particularly coming as I do from the North of Ireland. There have been various government-funded approaches to trauma introduced over the last 30 years. Predominantly, this has applied a trauma approach focused on the\u00a0individual\u00a0experience which has\u00a0<\/em>pathologised\u00a0and\u00a0<\/em>medicalised\u00a0the impact of trauma <\/em>...

Rural communities experience unique challenges when it comes to mental health on both the individual and community levels. At the same time, rural communities are incredibly hard working, resilient, and well connected. Despite their complexity, rural communities are often excluded from traditional conversations on mental health. In this special session,\u00a0 practitioners who live and work in these communities share their experience. This event is\u00a0FREE<\/strong>\u00a0to attend.<\/p>\n

In every SE Conversation series, you can count on lively discussion, tips and tools, and group exercises. The insights and perspectives on this topic of mental health for medical professionals, the challenges, opportunities, and specific issues prevalent to this field all promise to be more worthwhile than ever, worldwide.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
