Understanding Trauma and the Body Teleseminar

Published: May 22, 2014

Neuroscience is now supporting what yogis have known for centuries: our sense of self is rooted in how we interpret our inner sensory experience. Given that, if trauma transforms the external violence into an internal enemy that then contributes to an inability to feel safe inside and causes negative beliefs about the self and one’s capacity for tolerating the present, then the healing treatment must include opportunities for reparative connections with the body.

Lara Veon

The Breathe Network launched its first teleseminar “Understanding Trauma and the Body” with Lara Veon, LPC, RYT, as part of a series of online education and training workshops intended to increase our community understandings of the impacts of trauma and the unique experience of surviving sexual violence. In this introductory teleseminar, Lara discusses trauma – highlighting its impact on the brain, body and spirit – and briefly explores how integrating trauma treatment with mind/body modalities can profoundly aid healing.

Molly Boeder Harris (she/her) is the Founder and Executive Director of The Breathe Network, a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and a trauma-informed yoga teacher and trainer. Her own experiences surviving sexual trauma catalyzed her to enter the trauma healing field in 2003, beginning with her work as a medical and legal advocate with children and adult survivors, a campus violence prevention educator, and as a yoga teacher specializing in working with survivors. She earned her Master’s Degree in International Studies and her Master’s Certificate in Women’s & Gender Studies, which inform the way she holds both individual and collective forms of trauma and oppression close together in her work. Over the last 2 decades of her career and healing trajectory, she has found that the practices which recognize the whole person – body, mind, and soul – and which also honor the ways in which trauma and resilience manifest physiologically, offer the greatest possibility for embodied justice and social change.
